I've been playing around with a different way to PC and I'll pass it out for anybody to try. As in all things there are some pros and cons.
1. Thin aluminum plate for oven
2. Cut piece of newspaper to cover plate
3. Wet newspaper wet; this evidently conducts enough voltage.
4. Lay out boolits (I fill an MT container and flip upside down )
5. Spray as normal.
6. Bake as normal.
7. Size with Lee sizer.
Pros:
1. This has worked with Eastwood and HF guns and powder.
2. Accuracy is equivalent to "normal" PC in pistols I have tested. Boolits look identical.
3. No more tinfoil
4. Day old newspaper is cheap.
5. Plate doesn't get build up of baked on PC
Cons
1. Still a filet of PC on base; must be sized.
2. A scrap of newspaper stuck to bottom of base, it can be scraped off; though I don't.
3. Newspaper is one use only ( as one would expect ); you wind up with a paper full of boolit sized butholes.
I've done a thousand boolits so far ( 100 per run ) and it is very reproduceable.
I am going to play with it some more.
