Much thanks to the folks on this site with lots of info to share. Today I cast and coated my first bullets ever. I've been reloading for almost 20 years but this is new ground to me. Took some SOWW from lead strips with 2 way tape to 200 125gr 9mm boolits finished in Klass Kote 2 part epoxy. Coated and cooked twice, sized to .356 and they passed the hammer test.
Hopefully I can load up 50 in the morning and test them at the range in the afternoon. If they shoot straight I will use the remaining 150 in a steel match Tuesday night in my 9mm 1911.
