That IS interesting. I see the OP of the video never replied to people's requests for the slug mold info.
It would be nice to cast those, and drill through the top to attach it to a BRP-12 wad.
Hey Blood Trail. Happy New Year!
I appreciate the info. Please DM me if you get any Twister and Italian fire hydrant Svarog molds.

Not maybe. It is!!
PVC is the 3rd highest source that gains a negative electric charge, after Teflon and Silicon (not Silicone although it's made from Silicon) respectively.

Definitely gloves during casting.
No gloves during reloading because I powder coat all my bucks and slugs.
I do, however, wear gloves while powder coating.

+1 on the hot plate hack
If I have to sit the mold down, it's on the hot plate so it's as if I never stopped casting.
The good 'ol blue CB SW250 wads.
Thanks for that load data and info!
Hope the 'Berg' works out for you.

Prickett, do you, or someone else have a link to that sticky?
I'd like to take a look and maybe add to it.
Thanks!

Hello everyone!
New PC member and I use Prismatic Powders in 3" PVC pipes cut to 6" with the PVC end caps.
After shaking for about a minute, I place the PVC pipe on a Harbor Freight rock tumbler...

No shame needed. I understand where you're coming from now.

Nice of you to jump in as Geezer's cheerleader and bodyguard.
Transfer or project much?
I wasn't knocking anyone's reason for not PC'ing.

Thanks for the input!
I've been looking at the MP sabot mold too.

Thanks! I've seen mixed reviews on it's ability to glow. Apparently I have no issues. LOL

All contain 1 coating, except the Transparent Copper and Candy Copper on the slugs (darker Candy Copper slugs are from The Powder Coating Store).
The copper from both companies required 2 coatings...

Late to the party since I'm a new member, yet you should (if you haven't aleady) apply some due diligence or hands-on experience before belittling someone or a process you aren't familiar with!

New member so I'm late, BUT to finally answer your question (after reading all comments):
I PC ALL my slugs to avoid lead fouling in the barrel.
Even if the slugs won't touch it, why risk it.

I have read that about the 7/8oz LKD slug more than once, so thanks again for the information and refresher.

Nice PC job! What blue is that? I can't wait to finally locate a Twister mold in stock!

Yeah, the 1oz is bigger and not as accurate as the smaller 7/8oz @ 0.624", because it's not "nose heavy".
The 7/8oz is like a Weeble Wobble (told my age) when you try to lay it on it's side. It...
Outstanding hunt and post, thank you!
