I coat in small batches of 220 9mm, and 160 40 cal.
Just to add, if you want to mix and keep small batches, see your local body shop for paint sample containers. Hold 50ml.

I have used the Lee push thru for my 40 cal, so I went ahead and got one for the 9mm. It arrived today and works great after a little polishing with 1500 grit and some elbow grease.
Man these...

Not fair AUSGLOCK! Thats cheating. LOL

I am using a RCBS for sizing. I think I will try the lee push through and see what happens. But don't all resizers shave the bullet?

I am having a bit of an issue, I apply 1 coat, size, apply a send coat and size again. This is exposing a small area of the bullet. Should I apply a thinned out 3rd coat to prevent leading issues?...

I don't know about the 155 grain for the 40, but I can tell ya that after trying several different molds, the one I got from HP (vendor on this forum) is the best ever. 165 grain HPFBRN with the pins...

I was able to get my first batch coated, baked, and pushed thru my sizing die. Passed the wipe and smash test. I'm wondering if a second coat is actually needed. They look pretty good as is.
I'll...

Thanks Avenger.
Iv'e been checking out the Do's and Don't. I think I'm ready to give it a go this weekend. Have Gold to try and tool to measure and mix.
I'll let ya know how it comes out and shoots.

Sorry I'm late to the party, but couldn't bring myself to reading all 470+ pages. The last 20 seem tied up with someone named Tony.
I just received my order of gold from Hi Tech and can't wait to...

Wanted to see if anyone has compared the accuracy of the Hi Tech coating to traditional size and lube method. Many years ago I struggled with my 40 cal, I don't want to go backwards.:veryconfu

I've tried wiping the nose clean, but still builds up excessive lube in the chamber. I just checked my cabinet, and I still have some Alox. I think I'll give BLL a try in the next couple weeks....

I am getting a lot of lube build up in the camber of my XD40 to the point where it wont fully chamber after 10-15 rounds. After it jambs, the last round comes out with a thick ring of lube. Clean and...

Sig,don't give up just yet.Many(including Myself)have had to overcome the dreaded LEADING issue.I worked for almost 3yrs off/on for my 40cal.It can be done, I assure you of this.Youre in the right...

I don't tighten the screw on the pins all the way,it seems to bind them in the mold.I try to clean the mold before each use seems to help also.

In the XD or the M&P?I switched to AA#5 and just very small amount of lead just at the start of the leade.I might lighten the load just a tad.

Nice!!!!!!!!!Shootin time.

Our kids are our future.Nothing wrong with a little braggin.

I had a feeling Tom would take care of it.Best to have the pro do it.Just my .02

+1 what Gear said.It seems that the 40 can be the biggest pain in the butt.

That looks like the same problem I had just a couple months ago.I feel your pain!I started all from scratch.Reset my seating die,then to just a LIGHT crimp to iron things out to just fit the...

I use just a quick warm up with hair dryer.10 minutes seems to be enough to just warm my RCBS.

@ Gear,how about straight Carnuba Red?

WAY tooooooooo much time on your hands(get loading)!

Whats your definition of a little bit of leading?How hard is it to clean?Might try a STARTING load of a slower powder.I currently am using AA#5 @ 5.5grns with a 170 Mihec rnfp with fantastic results.

Say I wanna cast 500 boolits and have to refill my pot a couple times,and dropping my sprue back in as I go.How many times should I be refluxing?I try to return my sprue back in before it cools too...
