Well that's some interesting imfo. Thanks for the poll.
oldie but goodie
Per the instructions: I use Pro-Tec PC paint. I had it from making jigs and it's working. I use "watermelon" color. Its kind of a glossy OD green.
I use LLA, PC and pan lube. I don't have a lubesizer. I use Lee push-throughs.
Interesting poll and post!
Thanks!
John
