Thanks guys. It is a 4:1 mix of Eastwood clear gloss and Eastwood black gloss. I like my lead bullets to look like lead bullets. Got the idea from a previous poster.

Some 311299 done in the old lead style.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I will try seating a bullet long to force the case head against the bolt face approach first. Seems the easiest. I will make up a couple of dummy rounds to get...

Shot my first powder coated bullets today. Loaded 50 314299 sized 0.315 for the 303British. Used a mild charge of red dot that was pushing the bullets at approximately 1100 fps. Loads of fun and...

Hi All,
I replaced my 30-06 dies with a used RCBS die set. I spent a bunch of time over Christmas working up a couple hundred pieces of Winchester brass. Sized, flash hole debarred, neck turned,...

Passed the smash test. No sign of any of the coating flaking or separating! I like it. A lead bullet that looks like a lead bullet.

Did a small test batch.309977
The powder coated easily with the shake and bake. Bake on and flowed nicely. I could only manage about 370f with my small toaster oven in my cold garage. I will pound...

Thanks Ipel. Some contacted me that KMS Tools sells Eastwood powder. I checked the store here in Victoria, and bought a 1/2 pound of full gloss clear. I understand this is one of the good types of...

Thanks Carrier. Powder colours was my next question. You do the shake and bake method with Ford Blue and Signal Red?
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
KMS tools. We have one here in Victoria. I will check with them. Thanks!

Where are you getting your powder from? Anywhere in Canada?

Where are you getting your powder from? Anywhere within Canada? I did an internet search and cannot find anything domestic.

I was gifted this P-200 this afternoon. I am not a handgunner, but I can see this being quite useful for rifle cartridges I load with cast. 7mm-08, 30-30, 303British and 32 Win Sp. I neck size mostly...

I have been making a few different sized dippers like the ones kingstrider made above. They work great and are straightforward to make. If my scooping technique is consistent, they are also very...
I have made a few of these in various sizes. They work great as long as I am consistent with my “scooping” technique.308807

My silhouette load for chickens and pigs is the 311291, no GC and 9.5 grains WSF. Turkeys and rams is 311291 with a GC, 15.0 grains of IMR4227 and a Dacron filler. Both are accurate and I haven't...
Forum: Smokeless Paper Patching
Thinking about it a bit more, it could be that the nose of your core is quite undersized compared to the bore and you are not getting a clean release of the paper from the nose section of the core. A...
Forum: Smokeless Paper Patching
I would try without sizing the paper patch. Just finger lube and seat. No crimp. What does the inside neck diameter measure on a fired case?

Forum: Cast Boolits
Hi Guys,
Mystery solved. I hadn't looked at this in awhile as it was pi$$ing me off. Finally dragged it out of the locker this morning to go through it piece by piece. What I did notice this...
Forum: Cast Boolits
The 314299 I have drops a .3015 nose and a .313 bands boolit. Sized down to .311 it actually shoots quite well in my 30/06 which has a slightly over groove dia. of .3085. A seated round can be...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Hi All,
Anyone play this game strictly with cast out to the 500 meter rams? Where I live we shoot a short course with appropriately sized targets out to 320 yards. I have shot my way into AAA for...
The little one in the side of the mold that achcors the sprue plate screw. What is the thread type? Got this mold missing it and want to get one at the hardware store.
Thanks,

Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I will give it a go. I am fascinated with the "coatings". I have an old workhorse SMLE 303 that I will use as the test bed. I have shot thousands of 314299 GC boolits through it so I know what it can...
