OK, I've read about PCing bullets until my eyes hurt. I need to get a few things clear before I jump in. I want to use the shake and bake PC method.
I will be curing in this or something similar: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Oster-Fre...bucket=__bkt__
I want to shoot the boolits in an AR or other gas gun. - Do I need to gas check them?? Do I gas check before or after PCing???
Do I size before or after PCing??? I have the Lyman 450, but can go with the Lee push thru method.
I am not going to cast for the 50 Beowulf, but I can buy cast boolits from a local supplier. That supplier will sell them to me "as cast" unsized and unlubed. I want to PC these for an AR. Will I have any issues?? If I set the "shaked" coated boolits on a tray, will the coating on the base turn out OK?? If not, will a second coat with the bullets set nose down on the tray save me from using a gas check?? Is a gas check a good thing to use in all gas guns anyway??
