Why not buy a ballisti-cast mold? They have the entire HG line.
Is there anyone out there that can custom cut some Ballisiti-cast CNC molds for me? I need some designs without lube grooves, preferably with a bevel base cut out of the Ballisti-cast auto machine...

The standard formula is 5 parts color, 5 parts solvent (I use denatured alcohol), 1 part catalyst. Directions are provided with purchase of the coating. Some trial and error is involved since each...

The coating is flammable before it dries, basically you are just waiting for the solvent to evaporate, once the solvent evaporates you are good to put them in the oven.
I also want to say, heating...

The lee sizing dies work great on the coated bullets, but the shorty dies from Chris "Lathesmith" are works of art. I punch bullets through at 4k per hour, hundreds of thousands through them, and...

This, I would buy .223 powder from the Devil right now!

I am having trouble getting them in the US! I am number 40, 41, 81 and 82 in line for bullet master 8's and one lube master that will ship with the first two bullet masters, that was as of last...

I buy clean hard ball, but I just stir some paraffin wax in and skim when running the machines.

I have at a collection of Chris's dies. I have run hundreds of thousands of bullets through them, usually at somewhere around 4k bullets an hour and they still drop bullets to spec. I have abused...
I love the lee 120tc. I cast Magmas 124g and 135g round nose and 147g flat point. All the bullets shoot great.

Frosty bullets look just like shiny bullets when coated with hi-tek... Don't forget to turn the fan on when casting .45's, you can get away with it on 9mm, but .45's frost quickly. Good thing you...

I have done 147g subsonic loads with one coating and didn't have any issues. I have talked to a few makers in OZ that swear by one coat or two coats. It is so easy once you get to the coating...

I size after coating. Puts a nice shine on the bullet.
These run fine in Glocks, the only issues I have heard of I believe the person was sizing his bullets down when loading, because when we...

Hmm, I will go through my brass and see what I don't load for. I am sure I have at least some mixed revolver brass I don't load for. I have plenty of projectiles, coated in Hi-tek, if you need...

I had a buddy who bought a container of fireworks a few years ago. I said I'll take a $100 worth, I still have some left after shooting some last night! I got two cases of Roman Candles, a case of...

I have a classic cast press mounted upside down dedicated for small runs when I don't want to change over my Mark VI or Lube master over for a small run. I have a bunch of lee dies, some are easier...

I tried a couple of styles of bullets in .223 coated with hi-tek coating and I didn't get very good accuracy results. I didn't cast them, I don't have any .223 molds. They didn't lead, but they...

I have used .358 sized bullets in my 9mm's before (mistake, didn't realize I had the wrong die in there, kept them for myself instead of selling) modern 9mm chambers are "generous", whenever I have a...

Hmm, I pay somewhere between $1.60-$1.70 per pound for bullet alloy delivered. I pick up wheel weight ingots on the boards sometimes when I need something softer, but I can add on pure lead, or 3%...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Why not just order primers online. I just got around 50K for an average of under $20 per K. Some were as low as $17 per K, the 556 NATO primers where kind of high. I had to wait 6 weeks or so for...

I have some lee sizers for when I don't want to transfer over my Mark V and had no use for the Alox. The sizing dies are pretty slick on an a lee classic cast press mounted upside down.
