    PC small & LARGE

    Did some casting of .258 GC bullets for my 25-20, & 45cal Lyman 330gr HP.My Lyman 65gr .258 mold dropped 73gr bullets cast from my scrap WW. GC was crimped on before coating. Bullet fully sized after baking. My old Lyman 330gr HP came in at 342gr cast from my scrap WW. Color used was"John Deere Green ". For whatever reason this green gave a noticeably thicker one coat coating than my orange/brown. I really like this green for the great one coat coverage I got. All were Attachment 284436 baked all at 400dg for 30 min. Did not seem to be over baked even with the small bullets.

    You'll know when you over cook little boolits. They become sculptures. nice coverage, I like that green too. I mix it at 2 tsp to 1tsp with Smokes silver and get a blue spruce green that's nice too.
