Waking up a sleeping thread. Any experience with accurate TCM powder in the 350L? I now use it for TCM22 instead of H110 and it works well in that cartridge. A little faster burn rate and a slightly...
Thanks for the responses. That Sammi spec is a surprise to me. Thank you for pointing that out. I’ve got some measuring to do before I go any further.
2 questions. Did you get the plain base or...

2. A clean mould is worthless if it is not hot enough.
