I did try hemos too, they left marks after baking. It's all a moot point since I now just sift, dump, and bake. Not mark on them.

Late to the party on this one, but I'd like to share my experience with this method.

I started out with the epoxy paint which worked great for awhile, then for no reason it started flaking off the...

I did the exact same thing (sprinkling graphite) with my 9mm's and got horrible leading. I'm now going to test some with no powdered lube and some past wax as a final step. Should be done testing...

Affirm Skip, fired into a drum of water. You can see a little flat spot and a "fin" at the rear where the rifling has stretched it out. You're right, it hasn't broken through at all (on this one)....

Got back from the range yesterday after putting 50+ rounds through the Glock 17. Again, these were triple coated in epoxy paint and lubed with fine graphite. An inspection of the barrel showed a...

Late to the party on this one. I'm not in the States but I've tried this method with some success using De Beers 2 part auto paint. I used a home cast Lee 356-125-2R made from air cooled wheel...

This guy lists a COAL of 1.040, which what my 150's had to be to chamber...

Thanks for the replies, looks like I may have to move on. I've read of people getting 158 and 160 grainers to work in their 9's but I wouldn't feel comfortable loading that heavy and deep in high...

I'm really interested in developing a cast 9mm load for my Glock 17 with stock barrel (I know, I know). I was hoping for a lower pressure round with a heavy bullet to make IPSC minor power factor.

I've been casting and loading 45 ACP for a couple of years, then I thought I'd try 9mm. What a completely different animal! Still tearing my hair out, but like so many others, every google search...

I've been lurking here for about a year and have been loading 45 ACP for about two. I'm now in the process of developing a cast 9mm load for my Glock 17 with stock barrel (I know, I know). I was...
