Thanks moonman for the update, I have been considering the breville smart oven to start coating with, nice to know it does what it claims.
Did you notice any hotspots in the oven?
In a lot of the baking pics people have posted there seems to be a noticeable difference in the coated projectiles due to uneven heat. I know with my regular fan forced kitchen oven you notice the difference went cooking fries etc. The smart oven with 5 heating elements and fan should eliminate them.
Transferred some funds to Joe last night so should have my supplies next week. Might be a little while before I start coating, need to have a couple of good casting sessions. I'm waiting for a few things to arrive to build my temp controller before my next session also need to get my mould handles back from a few blokes I've lent them to. Upgraded to 6 cav from 2 cav in a few lee moulds, sold the 2 cav and no mould handles in the shed.
Coming up to summer holidays here in Aus so my son will be home from school, wont take any effort to get him involved in casting, loading, coating, shooting and testing. Plenty to try it in as I cast from 22-45cal and load everything from ISSF (bullseye pistol to hunting rifle loads)
Will use him for testing the rifle loads, I consider myself a reasonable shot. I can shoot 1/2moa groups with a few of my more accurate rifles easy enough of the bench but he is already outshooting me of the bench. Finished 2nd in his first comp earlier this year using one of my varmint rifles against far more specialised equipment and last varminting session pulled of a 668y shot on a rabbit. Bit of luck involved in that shot but he takes the heads of them regularly enough out to 400y to know it wasn't just luck.
