I haven't been able to do any bullet casting, reloading, or make any trips to the gun range in about 3 months. I finally had a chance to do all three, so I grabbed the mold for one of my favorite bullets, the Lyman 429421, which is Elmer Keith's famous bullet for the .44 Special and .44 Magnum.

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 […]

I previously cast up some round balls to load into my .44 Magnum, .44 Special, .45 Colt, .45 Auto, .357 Magnum, .38 Special, 9mm, and .380. Now it's time to get them powder coated. I also load the initial test loads of .44 Special with Unique and Trail Boss.

Powder coating session for my recently cast 9mm bullets. I cast these bullets from the NOE HTC358-133-RN mold.

My second attempt at powder coating cast lead bullets. Maybe Elvis Ammo has something. Jerry 19112A On A Budget

Does Cast Bullet Hardness Change after Powder Coating? The practice of powder coating ammunition is quickly gaining momentum among the cast bullet community, and it’s not hard to see why.  Although tedious at times, powder coating bullets can reduce or even eliminate the need for conventional bullet lubes as well as further reduce barrel leading. […]

I demonstrate how loading on a turret press is ideal for reloading a small batch of ammunition for load development. The turret press I use is the Redding T-7.

Powder coating is a well accepted process today for putting a jacketed lube coating on your casts…it’s been demonstrated over and over again, especially the methods for batch baking that makes this job of work fast and easy. There’s one way, one of the original techniques that is pretty much frowned on these days because […]

Eastwood ran a deal for free shipping over Valentines Day so I decided to stock up on my reliable colors and try out a new one called Copper Vein. My results were very pleasant, and I have to give a shout out to Reloader762 for verifying after I bought it that it was a good powder for bullet coating. He made some great looking rifle bullets with this powder!

I recently purchased two molds from Arsenal Molds.

There are reports of YT removing videos from shooting channels due to them being outside of the YT guidelines on acceptable content. Prohibitions on bump stocks, rapid fire triggers, gun constructs, reloading and unacceptable links are vague enough that shooting channels are having difficulty with the specifics. Here is a video on some very fine […]

Start to Finish, casting to shooting the Lee 311-100 in the 7.62X25mm. I cast the bullets, powder coated, sized and loaded them with Accurate #7. All surplus handguns are different and this may not work in your gun. Please be careful if anything in this video is duplicated. Thanks for watching. KFWI enjoy all things […]

Ladle pour / lead dipper casting using the Lyman Big Dipper Master Casting kit and the Lyman 429244 bullet mold. This is the equipment I used when I first started casting, but I've never used the 428244 mold until today.

This is a video response to the "Powder Coating Bullets On "Silicone" VS "Wire Mesh" ?" video posted by Elvis Ammo. I was surprised by the horrible results he experienced using a silicone mat and decided to do my own mini-experiment to see if I could get similar or better results.

If you have ever shot IHMSA (International Handgun Metallic Silhouette Association) you might get a kick out of this video. It gives a pretty good depiction of the difference between a rookie and a veteran trying to shoot 500 yards from a body supported shooting position with a scoped pistol. Feel free to laugh we […]

Taco's 9mm Money Saver Load

Have you ever wanted to see if your powder coated cast bullets could be used at long-range? Well we wondered the same thing so we set out to try some powder coated bullets at 1000 yards from a Remington 700 chambered in 7 mm rem mag. Step one was to work up a load that […]

Casting .44 Keith bullet and powder coating

Heavy 172 gr. 38 SPL Loads

Powder coating has become the new standard in preventing cast bullets from leading your barrel. In order to powder-coat large-caliber handgun bullets by the “shake and bake” method, it is often necessary to employ a buffer media of some kind, and most people seem to use airsoft pellets for this purpose. However, I discovered a […]

I recently purchased a mold to cast .45 caliber bullets for my 1911.  In this video, I use the mold to cast three different style bullets, and then powder coat and size them.  This mold has no lube groove, and the bullets must be coated with Hi-Tek or powder coat.

Thor's Axe sent me some of his 200 grain .44 caliber FWCs.  I loaded these and shot them in my Charter Arms Bulldog, S&W 69, S&W 629, and S&W 29.

I recently cast bullets for 9mm with the NOE HTC358-133-RN mold, powder coated them with Eastwood Lime Green, and sized them to .358". I am now working up a load with Alliant e3 powder, which is a challenge since there is no published load data for this or a similar bullet. I am shooting these from my Beretta 92S.
