PC- leave 'em lay or stand 'um up?

[Jon.Moore]

I found a set of giant tweezers at Harbor Freight... there were 6 in the package, but only the 45 degree bent ones worked the best. The set was $5.95... then I brought up a 20% discount coupon on my smart phone.. H.-F. app... saved a little coin, but the one tweezer really works good, just grab on the lube ring and turn the pan to keep grabbing from the same end... Thanks guys for all the help, for just starting out I was able to cut a lot of corners that I otherwise would have wasted time and money figuring my own way out. For the record, I am an accuracy freak! I got my 9MM carbine to shoot a quarter size group at 25 yds... with a flier WAY TOO OFTEN!! I don't know the answer yet but working it out is half the fun right?? Started coating my .45acp's and the fun has just re-started!! ---------- Jon

I only PC pistol bullets, and I dump them on course screen, they shoot as well as I can.

Even from a rest I see no difference.

But then I shoot no competition.

If I was shooting competition I would use jacketed.

I watch bulls eye shooters put them all in the X Ring at 50 yards.

Same here, I use the dump method since I cast and coat in pounds not boolit count. My 25 yards groups with a my handgun are the same as before I started coating. Now if I where to shoot longer ranges would it make a difference..... maybe. I guess the whole thing boils down to how thick is your coating? My single coat is a total of maybe .003" which leaves for me no flashing on the side facing the parchment paper. I've posted pics of my boolits and the only thing you can really see is the pigments not blending well in the shake and bake process. This is stuff I purchased off of ebay not smokes good powder that has been provine with the S&B process.




All the boolits in this bowl where dumped onto the cookie sheet.
To each there own.
