So I ran a second batch today of Yellow Green for my 9mm boolits. In an earlier post I mentioned the coating looked more transparent, whereby I could see thru the coating to the actual boolit. But, that it was coated and even smash tested good.
I shot some of them this past weekend and barrel had some streaking. It was black, not silver, and one pass of bore snake cleaned both handguns mirror clean. WSF shotgun powder, so it’s dirty anyway. Not sure if it was leading or powder.
Anyway, I ran a new batch this afternoon. I poured out previous powder and cut back on BBs. Added right at 2 teaspoons of yellow green. Did the regular shake and bake per Smokes instructions that did well on my 10mm boolits. Boolits came out looking pretty good, but upon inspection, still a transparent coating. I went ahead and heat treated and water quenched and will try to shoot these in the coming week.
Has anyone else seen where the coating is transparent looking where you can see the lead underneath the coating, like its too light of coating? I’m doing the same thing I did with the Aluminum White for my 10mm and it was fully coated.
Thanks!
