How long should you wait after casting to coat the Boolits?
Also, as I water drop from the mold after casting, is there any advantage of water dropping after the 2nd coat?
Thanks for the Hi-Tek...

Savage imported Anschutz, never made them. They are marked Savage-Anschutz and have different model #s than a comparable Anschutz.

My programming skills are weak. One of the parameters reset to default after my failed attempts to set it. I had no clue, and if a hammer won't fix it, there is an electrical problem…..
With pistol length gas, 300BO cycles subs and supers. I use H110, 1680 and Lil Gun for 220gn subs,with no problem in 9 and 16" barrels.

Glue and cleaner are designed to be used with the cleaner wet. You have to work faster and is the reason Plumbers tape both cans together.

Mypin. It does not hold temp with a probe in the lead pot.

I have a Frozone PID from 2013 that has never worked correctly as it does not hold temperature. Does anyone repair these?
UPDATE:
Mike W1 was kind enough to send Frozone instructions.

Case forming did not work correctly on the Dillon as the shell plate was too thick. Switched to the Rockchucker with no issues.

I called RCBS CS and asked to purchase some parts and they sent them N/C.
Reloaders are usually long time shooters who will reload for many years, so good CS goes a long way.

I use Kroil for everything and a can lasts forever. Get a needle oiler and apply 1 drop at a time exactly where you want it. Brownells has both.

A pistol length gas tube functions subsonic and supersonic in short and long barrels. Gas tube length is dependent on gas port location of the barrel.
My stuff works with Lil Gun, H110 and 1680.

Pasco part # 4599 is a stand for the burner. Look closely and ask if the old burner will thread onto the stand.
Great find BTW, I've been looking for an old lead pot for years.

Rule of thumb for bullet diameter is what I thought as it is the same for a bolt to thread ratio. As far as .309 a bit small, a 3rd layer of Hi-Tek will help if needed.

I have an RCBS 7.62-130-SPL 2 gang that I cast for the Blackout as the 130gn j bullets shoot/group fine in the 16" barrel. The OAL was 2.11. There was not enough crimp to hold the bullet tight enough...
