This may not be the place to post this , but here goes.
I just now joined your group after finding this forum a few days ago. I was searching the web for a starting load for my 458 socom trying to push a 450 gr, lee boolit without blowing my fingers off, and stumbled across this marvellous site.
I've gotta tell you I have been so glued to the laptop reading hundreds of threads here for the past few days that I just about wore out the internet. The wealth of info here is amazing.
I've been casting since the late '70s, and thanks to you guys, yesterday after work I came home and tore down my lube sizer press , and cleaned all the damn lube out of it for the last time. Then I grabbed a coffee can full of 9mm I had cast a few days ago, went out to the shop and gave them a nice little coat of HF red with my cheap little PC gun. About an hour later I was back in my new gun room pushing them through my nice clean sizing die, no trying to remember which way the pressure handle needs to turn, no sticky ooze on the lower punch trying to grab the boolit, and they came out too pretty to shoot...
So here is yet another pic of some PC success to add to the numerous ones in this forum.

This great idea you guys have come up with will be great for identifying range fodder from hot loads for hunting, there is a myriad of colors to choose from out there.
So today I will be coating a few hundred .223's and .45's, then on to my heavy 458's in some sinister hue...
My concern now is finding some poor soul to foist off a lot of nasty containers of freshly purchased lube on. Because thanks to the geniuses here I'll never lube again. So to conclude this rambling first post, Thanks to everyone here who has posted and answered so many great questions over the years. You guys are a wealth of info, and they should print the url of this site on every mold box with instructions to visit this site before casting.
Hope to get a chance to talk with everyone here in the future.
