‘SIZING CAST PROJECTILES’ . . . From Lube-Sizing to Lee push through to an Upside Down Press . . . “What?”

‘In the beginning…’ I started casting and ‘Lube-Sized’ my rifle/pistol projectiles…back then, the choice of lube was a hot topic and there were many heated exchanges about which lube would allow particular advantages. Some lubes required a ‘heater’ to be installed under the Sizer, some not. ‘Leading’ of the barrel was a problem when the […]

Marlin 1894 357 Magnum and Loads of Bacon

I got a package from Loads of Bacon of his world renown coated and bacon lubed bullets. Normally I load my medium velocity 357 Magnum rounds with HS-6. Just upon completing some 10MM testing with BE-86 and like the performance and velocity I was seeing with it I decided to use BE-86 in 357 Magnum.

A Hard Discussion – Determining BHN for the Powder Coated Cast Lead Hollow Point Bullet Test

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.

Understanding the Chemistry of Powder Coating

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 […]

Powder Coating and Sizing 9mm

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.

Making 133 gr. 9mm Plinking Ammo!

Hey guys! Been a little since I made a “start to finish” video–and finally caught my breath a little from the busyness of summer, enough to throw together a video.  I was actually searching my channel for my 9mm plinking ammo video a week or two ago, when I realized I never ended up editing […]

My first powder coating project

The reason I am using the spray on the bullets is because I smoke the mold and I like to remove the wax off the bullets I like the spray because it’s easy you can also use acetone in a glass jar let it dry. ocean374I have enjoyed the outdoors for many years. I am […]
