sknhgy, I have a Rossi 357. I will have to give that boolit a try. Never thought of it. Thanks, Randy.

Today I cast up a few more of the Lee 6-banger, 312/155. I've Lee-mented it. Beat it with a hard wood stick. 3 inner cavities still have hanger's. It' starting to just shape up though. Getting...

bruce drake, I believe you are correct. I will do some measurements tomorrow. I also have a 1 in 8'' 300 BO. But, mine is a 10.5" pistol barrel. Randy.

Silvercreek Farmer, I know getting a chamber gauge would be the "right thing to do". This will probably be the only 300 BO I will ever load for. Ammo that chambers in my gun will be good enough. Just...

popper, I plan on checking the 3 rds that failed to fully chamber. I have a feeling mine are alot larger than factory brass. Thanks, for your guidance, Randy.

To all that are interested/on the fence about Powder coating Boolits. It appears to be a cheap, and trouble-free process. I'm in it for 19.99, toaster oven from Walmart. And 25 bux for the 1 lb PC...

imashooter2, Brownells claim they have it in stock. My order is processing/waiting to ship. Randy.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
mehavey, yes they do have a gas check shank. Thought I would try them without GC. Since I PC'ed. Randy.

Walter Laich, that is the same oven I use. Seems to cook boolits ok to me. I do place temp dial on 450 as apposed to 400 degrees. Randy.

I haven't bought any powder in a couple of years. Last purchased locally (20 miles, 1 way). I blindly drove to same shop yesterday. Shelves completely bare. Zero powder or primers.
So, I place an...

mehavey, I might give that a try. I was trying to over come the boolits getting scraped up going into an AR chamber. PC alone will probably do. Thanks, Randy.

Gentlemen, I finally made it out to the range to try a few loads. I fired a total of 60 loads. The loads were all with the Lee 312'/.155 boolit, sized 311'' LLA lubed. The cases were half, once fired...

mehavey, my alloy was WD'ed wheel wts. My sizer's are all Lee push through. Her are a couple pix of my smash test I performed this morning. The PC seams to have adhered. Although my blows with the...

cwlongshot, This is a new gun. I have only fired 60 rounds so far. All loads were the Lee 312"/155 boolit. My first test loads were with LLA, sized 311. Three out of 60 failed to fully chamber. I...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Sir. I have not done smash test. I figured running them through a 311" then 309" sizer was enough test, might try tomorrow. If I understand correct, just smack with a hammer? Thanks. Randy

Hello my name is Randy. I am a Gun-a-holic. I recently purchased my first AR 300 BO upper. I felt my LLA coated boolits might not be up to the task. A few forum members here explained PC might be the...

imashooter2, Thanks for the insight. Randy.

imashooter2, I am hoping this is my problem. Waiting for a 309'' sizer as we speak. Thanks, Randy.
