I cast for just over three hours today. Given it was 57-58 degrees here in January it was a great day to cast. Thursday is supposed to be as nice. So I might just try to cast Thursday to.

Looks pretty good, thanks

Anyone have any results from handgun bullets with a good HP, coated, then shot and recovered? I wondering how is expansion after powder coating?

thanks,

I will look after the initial shaking and coating. If not completely covered, I shake again and that nearly always give a complete coating.

I nearly always wait at least a day before coating and baking after casting. I just like the bullets to completely cool before moving forward. I seem to have good results. Sometimes it is more...

I have used the trays in the toaster oven and they do well. I then made a tray out of hardware cloth, that stiff 1/4 weave wire, folded the edges to fit the toaster oven. It works really well. It...

I have always set the oven at 400 degrees but I don't know how accurate that really is. I have always used the 20 mins as a time. Now sometimes I do go over by a min or two, but have never noticed...

It has been said, but I also use Rotometals for casting materials. Very reliable fast shipping, and excellent quality. You get what you want from them.

I’m still new at PCing. I use a blue and the boolits it’s are looking better now than what my first batch looked like.

That is what I’ve been doing. Just wondered after seeing many pictures. I took your hint of a tap before the sizer die.
I’m just curious what everyone does.

I put the GC on after PCing, any issues with that?

Thanks,

sized some .452 boolits, sized some 44 spl. brass

Do you all worry about your bullets touching when they are in the oven? I use a wire basket that I made for placing the bullets in the oven with, It works it is crude but it works.

Forgot about humidity, I'm in Indiana so humidity is a constant factor in everything.
Thanks,

For my first try I used a Lee mold and poured a 125 gr, .356 RN, then a .452 200 grain TC,, I did size after the coating and no I did not try to size wo any lube on them.
I do appreciate all the...
