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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 Unique 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.

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 […]

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.

This video shows how I powder coated an AR-15 lower that I made from an in-th-white <80% receiver. TheIdahoanShowIdaho was one of the last continental US states to be settled and, more so than some parts of the US, the culture of Idaho still retains a frontier spirit of self-reliance.  As host of TheIdahoanShow on […]

This is the fifth video in the Powder Coated Cast Lead Hollow Point Bullet Testing series, which is a long experiment testing powder coated cast lead hollow point bullets made from various alloys and fired at various velocities. In this video I powder coat all of the bullets that will be used for this test.

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.

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.

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.

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 […]

I'm reloading the first .44 Magnum hollow point for the Powder Coated Cast Lead Hollow Point Bullet Testing series. In this video I go through the process of figuring out the H110 powder charge for the Keith SWC .44 Magnum, and then I load the bullets.

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 […]

Picked up 10 new PC varieties, time to experiment. Jerry 19112A On A Budget

Trying out the Eastwood Full Gloss Clear, Mirror Black, Orange, Bright Yellow, and Single Stage Reflective Chrome powder coat on my cast bullets.

I stumbled across the article I mentioned in this video a while back. If anyone has had issues with not being able to get your powder coat to “stick” to your bullets, then this video may prove to be useful to you! One thing I neglected to mention in the video is to make sure […]

This is the seventh video in the Powder Coated Cast Lead Hollow Point Bullet Testing series, which is a long experiment testing powder coated cast lead hollow point bullets made from various alloys and fired at various velocities. In this video I have a little fun using various methods to measure the hardness of the lead alloys used to cast the bullets that will be used for this test.

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 […]

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