    they would look purtier with a little silver color on the lower drive band, except when loaded of course.

    Hi, All -

    Here is a pic of loaded powder coated projectiles along with a pic of a target that was shot with them on Friday, Dec. 17, 2021. These are RCBS 185 grain cast 30 cal projectiles loaded in 30-06 cases. I cast the projectiles and powder coated them using Eastwood Ford Light Blue powder coating. They were gas checked with Sage's copper gas checks. My charge was a respectable 45.2 grains of IMR 4064 with a COL of 2.925". There was no lead fouling - just the usual and customary powder residue in the barrel.

    These projectiles were shot out of a 1979 vintage Rem 700. The rifle and scope were previously dead-on zeroed at 100 yards using the same charge of 4064 (45.2 grains) pushing a 168 grain Nosler Custom Competition match projectile and with a 3.30" COL.

    With these powder coated projectiles, I used the very same scope setting as with the Custom Competition projectiles, and changed nothing.

    To my great surprise and gratification, these projectiles produced a single clover-leaf style pattern over a 3 shot set. I never expected that type of result! I am more than pleased with these powder coated and gas checked projectiles!

    I have no idea how these projectiles would perform on game. I'm not a hunter but I just wonder how they would perform. I'd like to try them out on 4 or 5 milk jugs of water just to see what happens to the projectiles on impact! My dual cavity mould has been hollow-pointed on one cavity.

    Tried mixing a bit of pbtp super wet black and Eastwood lime green. Sticks fairly well, but note sure if I dig the pattern.

    Retumbo, those red hi-tek coated bolts look amazing, better than anything else I have seen. I assume hi-tek; I'll have to watch your video. I might just switch from PC.

    Nope, no hi-tek. Jollypop Red clear coat, shake and bake. One of the best powders yet, although I think the Screaming Shocked Yellow is nicer, it coats just as well but has a thinner coating
