Moderators,
Do you think we could have a sub-heading for Powder Coat under Bullet Lube?
It appears that Powder coating is taking off in a multitude of directions. It would be great
if we could have all the posts under one heading, streamlining my research reading.
Just food for thought, thanks for considering,
HV

This was already brought up. Its all politics. Maybe a donation would get it going.
it's all lube.
right now the majority of the threads in the lube section are dealing with powder coating or hi-tek coating.
it's the ones looking for regular lube threads having the hard time.
I agree, but a Powder Coat Sticky is long over-due. That is one glaring omission. Especially considering a couple/few of other sticky topics that are far less popular.
If a thread isn't brought to staff attention for sticky status, it is not likely to be noticed. Making posts on the forum about it are usually unseen, as none of us read every post, every day.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
I would suggest one or all of these, as there is more than one method. All of these, and there are more worthy candidates, have more posts/views that over half of what is up there now as stickies. There is much new and good information that deserves sticky status.

This is the third time this has come up. You're gonna get comments questioning your intelligence ("all you need to do is pass on those topics; don't click on them") and " there's no need" (even though there's over 2,000 replies/posts), and Los Tres Amigos will overrule any ideas. It's ok to separate paper patching bullets in blackpowder arms from smokeless powder arms, (oh yeah, so much interest there!) but we must keep all forms of lube in one place

Wow!! A whol bunch of butthurt going on here. The hints, allegations, and things left unsaid are quite uncalled for and rude.
That being said, it very well may be time for a sub forum.
Furthermore, I counted 23, non-sticky, threads on the 1st page of the Lube forum. Only 7 were alternative lube threads and the other 16 were traditional lube threads.
How's that mix in with your "We get treated mean for wanting a new forum" cake you've been baking this morning?
This is not directed at HV. This is directed at the other two who have made uncalled for insinuations.

Do a search of past threads about a new sub forum. If you think a stink is being raised about these, todays posts, read the major snit fits the old timers around here had regarding an "un-needed" sub forum. No insinuations, no hints or unspoken allegations, straight out; ask for something new and you get your bu__ jumped on by the "elite". How does your "I don't know of what I speak" cake taste?Originally Posted by Love Life

I was involved in the 1st thread. I stated that people could simply NOT click on the alternative lube threads. Quite a simple solution...really.
Of course at that time there were not as many alternative lube threads, and now there are more. however; even though there are more alternative lube threads, the majority of threads on the 1st page are about traditional wax lubes.
So that "I DO know what I speak of" cake tastes quite good. Almost as good as fresh from the oven German apple cake.
What I was refering to in this thread are the insinuations that you have to pay the moderators to get a sub forum, and that a sect of moderators are in cahoots as a clique with the sole intention of not creating a separate sub forum.
I was originally against the idea, but after thinking it over I think it would be a nice sub forum to this one if that is an option. I say this because while there aren't many threads here, I feel like the threads that do pop up get dragged out and often deviate because it comes down to making a new thread that might not gain traction or posting again in a thread that is over 80 pages long. I believe a sub forum would see more post, results better tracked, new methods and instruction, and it would be easier for people to find the information they are looking for.
^^^I agree with you 100%. Mebbe all we need to do is as Waksupi posted and PM the moderators.
Maybe not a PC specific sub-forum, but an alternative lube method sub-forum. We've got all kinds of wild things going on right now!! PC, HI-TEK, Klass Coat, $10 epoxy, etc.
Got 'em. Thanks!

" bullet coatings "
You all just leave the mods alone. They don't need your help. Unless you want to take over $$$$$$!
THANK YOU MODS for the STICKY
I think it is kind of silly to have the first page of the lube section 1/3 full of sticky's. A subsection breaking up lubes seems appropriate now. Thanks for putting them up there waksupi, but how full does the front page need to be before it is apparent that there needs to be a breakup for the lube section?
Baby steps ....
What??
