simple Hi-Tek coating

[hawaii five-0]

Im loading the Lee 155 gr projo in .300 Blk, and using HTC Black. My question is- Gas check installed before or after HTC?

ZW. Nice Photo.

Popper. I don't WD. I only use 92,6,2 alloy for 9mm, 358, 40
And range lead for 44, 45.

I tried mixing 25ml of a Blue with 25ml of Natural, hoping it might stay blue after baking.
No...didn't work. the coating baked a dark green. Smash and wipe fine, so these will get loaded rather than re-melted.

I have a purple coating that showed promise. It baked a burgandy colour.
I'm going to try it 70/30 with the Natural to see if it will lighten up any. The natural adds metallic elements to the coating as it is heavy in metals. this make the coating tougher.

Gunslick. Mate. you got it.
Just chillin with my Supercoat.
just Makin' & coatin' bullets... yeah baby..
New oven is sweet. holds temp perfectly and the cyclone strength fan has every bullet coming out the same colour with no hotspots.

I am now mixing and matching different colours to try and get something unique.
going to try a red and the natural to see if it will go pink.

What have you been up to?

more info on the priming system? and who is Magic mike?
I had a loadmaster and sold it off because it was a pig to use. I now have a Dillon 550 and a Square dealB. The square deal stays setup for 45ACP. the 550 does all the rest.

Retired engineer from texas, he finally invented a mod to allow lee primer system to work. And his other components all add up to a working loadmaster.

Ordered some green!

Doing a few of these: Last (3) coat i did they looked great and mailed em off.

Hey, I recognize those.

Those boys are gonna be interesting to test out. I hope they can handle some speed, I can get them over 2500 of they want. I just don't know if I want to shoot many at that speed

Ok. Got the green stuff. I cast a bunch of rcbs 158gr rnfp. Mix up 5:1:6 ratio. Coat thin first coat. Cook at 365 for 10 mins. Wipe test smash test: pass. Coated two more times. Last coat wipe test smash test: pass. I goes to size... First thing I notice is the coating chipping on the corner of the plane base. I keep sizing and notice more than half of the bullets' baring surface coating is wilted. And it chipped away when I poked at it with pen tip. ***!?

Bummer. Try again!!

Doesn't sound like you cooked hot enough. The boolits have to get to reach 365. So you might want to try cooking at 400.

Coating too thick.
Don't use as much.
With the green, I mix 5-1-10. and only do 2 coats.
What size die you using?

I had no luck at all trying to size coated bullets with RCBS or Lyman conventional size dies. I had the coating getting ripped off the bullets.
I now only use Lee push through sizers.

I'm too guessing maybe too thick... The bullets are rcbs. I sized to .358 with lee push-through die.

Had another miserable fail last night... Following directions to the letter. I even bought a nice Oster oven. Is there something about the green that makes it such a bastard child to use? Are the others (red copper, gold, black etc) any better? The only option I have left is to get a temp thermometer and see if my oven is lying.
Just spent the last 3 hours casting 250 slugs and coating. No release agents on bullets. Real close to throwing this green dogs**t in the trash...please help
