9mm 147gr hp (came out to 151gr)
Tool blue and kawasaki green
Getting ready for Christmas. Smoke's powder, one coat dry tumbled. The cooler, dryer weather down here is definitely better for Dry tumbling.

It works, see tumble lubed boolit set to same length.
Traditional hard lubed boolit also at same length.
Used in my rifle, they do OK.
I just started doing PC, shown here on my first batch of 7.62x39mm boolits, the 160gr Lee, that do sit flush. Mods, note how I DID meet thread guidelines and make sure a PC boolit is in the thread.
But initial testing of the 129 PC boolit shows some promise.
Back to the pictures.
from range scrap to ingots to casting to powdercoat to sizing today
will load them tomorrow for the little kid to shoot Monday
Really awesome, guncheese!!!
The theme here today was Smoke's blue in the caliber of 30-30 Win.
KE4GWE - - - - - - Colt 1860, it just feels right.

This is a Lee 2 cavity mold 124 grain rn with orange from Powder by the pound
This is from a MP 2 cavity mold that is 124 grain round flat hollow point with glossy black and machine gray from Eastwood that came with the ES gun kit I bought from Eastwood. The gray coated one was easier to size than the black coated one. The Orange above were easy to size also.
