In today's video, I am powder coating my recent cast 9mm rounds. I am using Harbor Freight Red powder. I am having trouble with the powder sticking to the bullets. After watching several videos from authors of The Reloaders Network, I'm still not getting the results I want. All the rounds are usable, but they just don't look the best. Some have thin and thick spots, and some have bare spots. Factors such as weather, humidity, and types of plastic containers could be affecting my results. All the rounds were sized to .356 using a NOE Sizing Die.

Here is my entry into the Taco 2000 subscriber drawing. Thanks to Full.Lead.Taco for encouraging us all to get out and experiment to see how we would continue our hobbies in the face of the demise of civilization as we know it.
I originally wanted a bullet mold which I could use to cast a heavy 300blk bullet which was easy to cast, coat, load, and shoot for plinking in my 300 blk AR15 at subsonic speeds. I tried a few of the already available molds but had feeding issues, undersized issues, boat tail issues, or issues […]
A while back I wanted to see what the lightest bullet I could load in my 300 blk would be. I worked my way all the way down to a round ball load. Someone asked me if I was worried about a baffle strike with the round ball–I asked them, ” what do you think […]
Tres Amigos Tres Molds Tres Rifles
We each sent the others a batch of cast bullets for testing in different rifles, different temperatures, and altitudes. But, all with the same loads. Here are our results.

The Reloaders Network website is 6 months old! A big thanks to everyone that has been involved so far.
Also, a huge thanks to some really kind folks that sent me a few items.
