Thanks. I was in the process of grabbing those too. Looks like the wayback machine only has up to about page 5 recorded. I clicked through page 9 getting '404 equivalents, and at 14. I did not do all...

Several of the Lee sizers I bought were undersized. To me that's a plus, because then I can hone them up to what I want. I finish with 2K grit automotive sand paper wrapped around a mandril with...
That sounds promising. Did you manage to find your Unique charge data?
They have made them, and will sell you one on request. I've been tempted for several of their designs. I'm also tempted to cut mine down to a 5r profile flat base 168 grainer and see how it does in...
Thanks for the reply, however, an aspect of it doesn't make sense to me:
WSF and Red Dot are flattened ball powders. i.e. Flake. So is green dot, and I definitely see it being crappy in cold...

Very neat. Let us know how it shoots for you, and if you can see any differences between it an the 311413 molds.
Good to know. I have a half can of this, but I don't use it much. It's good to have a frame of reference to see if I am out in crazy land with my estimated starting points.
Thanks, Bob. Any pressure signs, etc? Would you characterize this as standard, mild, or spicy?
Update question. While I stand by my previous post, I have opted to phase out green dot. I have enough left for a couple hundred more of these. Assuming I stick with this same bullet, I would like to...

I have a jar of mixed powders from pulled down bullets, and I put a few PC bullets into it when I read this thread. So far no apparent effects as of Saturday. I will probably borrow a couple baby...

Thanks Joe K.
So far every powder I have checked other than IMR 4227 lists nitroglycerin as the main component. Including leverevolution which is supposed to be nearly the same as CFE223

Thank you for that report.
I have been working on a project to make a long term stock pile of all my ammo, so that I have reserves of each thing.
I want a significant supply for various...

That isn't available where I live.
What are the characteristics we can search for to predict which powders will be compatable, and which powder coating powders may be less vulnerable? i.e. Most...

I've been considering a switch from bullseye to CFE pistol. any info on the chemistry of that?
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Oh, and WSF is another go to powder for me.
good to see that two of my primaries are shown in the above test.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Fascinating stuff guys.
I will be doing some similar tests with a few powder coats now.
The propellants I use with PC the most are bullseye, Green Dot, H110, CFE BLK, Blue Dot, and Longshot. I...

There were no questions about whether and when I heat treat. I do. Before tumbling and baking. I tested a bunch heat treated after coating, and found no measurable difference. My coating process does...

Ps I have a lee autodisk pro, and also had a lee perfect. I've used most of the others at one point or another on other people's equipment. I think the Autodrum is the nicest design on the market,...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Keep both. I like the lee system better, but you can dial in the hornady on one tool head of something you load a lot and leave it set. The lee is easier to dial in for changes, and cheap enough that...
Where do you get the wads?
Also what is the diameter of the slug, etc? This looks like the mold I have been wanting forever.
Ah. Well then all of my legal knowledge is useless to you. The best of luck and hard work to you. Everyone deserves access to practical means of self defense at least as good as an attacker might...
I don't know what your tricks are, but I can say the only sensible way to get NFA Title II items is with an NFA specific trust. -- It's my line of work in WA. I see a lot of people trying to save...
Note: A brenneke style slug with no shotcup, but all the components attached together ought to be fine in a salvo. Nothing can expand outward.
That's all out with the Salvo suppressor. Their design more or less has rails that the shotcup rides down to hold all the shot in. The rails hold the cup closed until it exits the 'muzzle' of the...
I understand the intent and theory. I haven't found it to matter in practice if the slug+wad to bore diameter choice is right. If the fit is wrong, it doesn't help either. I started using cards based...
