Scrummy, I’m in the fortunate situation that I can benefit from surplus of an old product no longer used for manufacturing at my workplace. It’s a commercial epoxy polyester hybrid powder coating,...

I’m routinely sizing down .430 to .415 in order to get bullets for my single loader K31 chambered in 10.3x60R. For me this is working with bullets ranging in hardness from 8 to 19 HB using the...

I'm also pleasantly surprised about the lack of leading of the .356 sized bullets in the P220 with a .357 barrel. Due to the leading in the Uzi (.356 barrel) I'll do the next test with #90303 bullets...
New to casting I think I’ve learned a lot at this forum and I’d like to share some of my humble results with you. This is my first post and English is not my native language, so I apologize in...
