Some 9mm barrels are throated and others are not. There's not a one size fits all unfortunately. That top band may have to be pushed all the way in if you have no throat at all, if you have some then...

First try was a failure, but I think there's lots of factors to play with like the ratio of copper to PC.
I also was using an unmodified Harbor Freight gun, which can barely paint anything.

You're right, the question comes up all the time and answers differ, but what's the risk? I've never heard of anyone's gun blowing up. Worst case you get crappy accuracy. My Kahr 45 loves them. It's...

If it won't shake and bake then it's still good for electrostatic spraying. Maybe it's not something you're into yet but some day you might be. Perfectly sprayed boolits are a beautiful thing and not...

I have stuffed as much 777 as you possibly can into my steel framed 1858s in both 36 and 45 caliber. You can't put too much BP or BP subs to do any damage.

This is what I'm trying to do but the process is reversed.

There are three techniques I want to try, maybe alone or in conjunction.
1. Spray the pure copper on the boolits then spray over with clear.
2. Mix the clear with the copper probably starting...

After reading 40 pages of some random PC thread someone was complaining of the pigments in PC potentially causing some damage. I know this problem is largely non-existent but it gave me an idea. Why...

I finished my plates and did a few trials. The first time I sprayed I tried to transfer the boolits to another tray. There was no way of doing this without disturbing the PC. Spraying is much more...

Even if the powder eats the PC it should only eat the bottom of the bullet which doesn't really need PC anyway.
PC is plastic, it will last millions of years in normal conditions.

Like many of you, I've done many thousands of shake n' bake PC bullets and have shot them in all kinds of handguns and rifles.
My 30 cal bullets will lead the gas port in my auto loading rifles,...

For those who think PC is so healthy compared to lubed bullets it's really not. PC has triglycidyl isocyanurate, tri-mellitic anhydride and lead chromate which you can breath when you coat and when...

Today, I did a little decapping. My diaper box of range pick up 223 rem box was over flowing.
Broke two pins. This jug is about half of what I did. My right arm is super strong now. I'm...

If this works it would really make it more convenient.
Thanks for the tip.

I'm not too familiar with the other brands. What type should I avoid, or should I just buy the cheapest thing I can find?

I have a few Vaqueros along with a Blackhawk and Redhawk. They are great for strength but mine aren't very authentic. They are also a bit more of a hassle to take down all the way. When I shoot BP...

Before I got into casting I purchased and shot a lot from this company.

That depends if you're enjoying yourself or not. There's really not much money saved from casting boolits, but I enjoy it so I do it.

Pietta makes a 36 cal Remington. I have one and it's great. Lots of room for powder in the chambers. Stuffed with 777 and a round ball I get over 1200fps.

Recently I've been heavily interested in Cap and Ball revolvers, but they have their limitations. It would be nice to have a dedicated black powder cartridge gun so I started looking at Colts and...

Golden powder doesn't need a binder. It will get hard as a rock once the water cooks out.
For BP I add it to the jar after the mill time is over and mill for an additional 10-30 minutes. Just to...
