I have found that bigger or more bullets take more time to get to 400 degrees. I put the bullets in and when my thermometer reaches 400 then let them cook for 10 min

I use a vibrating tumbler with a variety of smoke powders and harbor freight red along with a couple of other brands of powders. and while I don't get a picture perfect coverage they shoot just fine....

I have shot a fair number in my AR and a contender. I tumble coat them dump them on some mesh to shake off excess powder then dump them onto NSF and bake. so nothing very precise. my groups are...

I have used the peanuts. they seam to help on rainy days

my experience has been if I shoot wheel weight lead when using jacket bullet data. if I shoot minimum loads I get acceptable accuracy so 2 to 2.5 inches. i tried lino type lead and I was able to push...

for me PC bullets are for developing the skills necessary to get the full benefit of those pricey more accurate bullets

I have used packing peanuts instead of bb's. for me it has worked better then the bb's did

in my experience when using jacketed bullet data minimum and maximum loads have more to due with how accurate PC bullets are then just velocity alone. this has been the case in four different...

I was able to go at and try some in a 22-250, with any jacketed bullet data accuracy was very bad i did try a load with unique and accuracy was in that 2 to 3 inch range. i want to look at pressures...

I have been going to try some in my brothers 22-250 if the minimum and maximum work in that I will report back with what I find there.

it has been my experience in shooting PC boolits in .223 (in two different guns) 7-30 waters and 7.62x39 (also in two different guns) that minimum and max loads have more to do with accuracy then...

I think if you are in a dry enough climate a tumbler works well. I use a tumbler and can't tell the difference between that and a cool whip tub. I also haven't been able to tell any difference using...

I think it must be something in the shipping. I have received about five orders in five or six colors including clear from pbtp all got to me in good shape. having said that I think future orders...

did the peanuts mix in with the boolits or float around on top? I tried the airsoft bb's and with a 1000 boolits it was tough to separate them in a timely manner. and I didn't really see that it...

I have had good luck with pbtp in super durable wet clear. it just looks like a cast boolet with a little shine to it
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I have found that with the type of failure to feed that you are describing that seating the boolet a little longer helps

I bought a 1/2 pound of pbtp Kawasaki green and I double coated about 2000 9mm bullets so I think with that powder you would get about 8000 single coated ones. I put my powder in the zip loc tubs and...

I have tried DT mixing colors and in some cases just one color was attracted to the bullet. so you may try it and start gray and end up pink

in my AR I get around 2800 with no GC before accuracy goes to pot my bullets are range scrap. I have been going to try some linotype to see if I can get more

sorry I had to go back and see what it was. it turned out to be anodized blue transparent from powder by the pound the funny thing is it worked pretty well with DT on it's own. it worked with a...

I had kind of a funny experience when mixing powders. a guy I work with wanted a powder blue bullet so I went and mixed some dark blue I had with HF white. they came out a nice mottled powder blue. I...

here is a picture of some boolits that I used hairspray on
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I have also tried pre-heating i think this method would work. if you can find the right temp. the problem I had was i dumped about 5 heated bullets into the powder and they came out as 5 bullets in a...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
i think this method uses less powder then the electrostatic method because you recover everything that is not stuck to the boolit. I have not tried the piglet method so would not know with that...

i used suave max hold hair spray. I have also used the elmers spray adhesive both worked. I think the trick to hair spray is to make sure it drys before dumping it in the powder. i spay the boolits...
