Does anyone have drawings or at least pictures of what the bottom pour spout and rod from a balisticast or magma casting system look like? I'm fabricating and would prefer to do what already works.

A bit more context. I'm thinking of building an automatic powder coater. Feed bullets in one end, get trays of bullets (pistol) out the end. If things go well, might add an oven to the mix, but...

I've tried 350 to 400. If it's low enough to maintain color, it wipes off with acetone. Could almost use the color as the cure indicator for some of these...

Here's how I coat bullets with both hitek and bcb. 7lbs of bullets, about 250 45 acp bullets.
I'm liking the bcb, but the bright colors come out looking black/charcoal. Performance is fine, just...

[QUOTE=30calshooter;5497344]Has anyone tried BCB Bullet Coat from South Africa?
Yes, used a fair amount if it I. Several colors

From a processing perspective, I like BCB as well, but have issues with the darker blues/purple comming out basically black. It does look more like powder than hi-tech. I bought several colors to...

My only comment is that 1680 is very temperature sensitive. It's a great powder for my 357 herrett, but hunting in North Dakota just doesn't work for temp sensitive powders...

From what I've read, coolant temp is critical variable for good quality shot. If I do it, the coolant will be temp controlled and circulated across heating element (water heater element) and a...
That is the 425 shot maker, plus 35 shipping, plus the drop tank, plus the circulation pump, plus screens to dry, Etc. I'm estimating the whole system will be a $700 (ish) investment

So I did some math... if shot sells for $65/bag, and I can get scrap range lead for $.50/lb (which I can), and I figure $700 for the shot maker and ancillary equipment to make shot... (drum roll...
That's more helpfull. Thanks.

What I'm hearing
1)you can buy shot for 50/bag.... well no... perhaps where you live, but where i live going rate is $64.99.
2) just drive arround looking for it cheaper somewhere else. We'll,...
Well I've been thinking of making shot for several years and $70/bag is pushing me close to jumping in. I cast 150 lbs of lead a year for bullseye pistol so I'm familiar with hot lead.

I'll never lube again... coatings result in cleaner dies, guns, and brass, significantly lower smoke in the range and dramatically higher production rates of bullets. Functionally, it doesnt matter...

Resins turn yellow, organic pigments all turn black which is why the bright blues and reds are more prone to color degridation.

Almost exactly like hitek, even down to the smell when coating. They want a different solvent mix, but ethanol and acetone isn't that big of a change and hitek suggests this to slow evaporation as...
