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 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.

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 […]

Potent Hog Medicine? Is 357 Magnum 158gr at 1248fps from a 6inch barrel and 1489fps from a 16in barrel, leveraction at 75 yards or under potent hog medicine? Leave a comment and tell me what you think. Thanks Loads of Bacon for bullets.   Dayattherange.com mr.revolverguywww.dayattherange.com

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

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.

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

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. […]

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 […]

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.

‘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 […]

315 Gr 338 Spectre Subs -- Now I have ammo!

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.

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 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.

Trying out the Eastwood Ford Dark Blue, Gloss White, Rally Wheel Silver, Atomic Pink, and Copper Penny powder coat on my cast bullets.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(The video was originally posted to YouTube on April 26, 2017.) I'm reloading the first .44 Special hollow point for the Powder Coated Cast Lead Hollow Point Bullet Testing series. This series 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 go through the process of figuring out the Unique powder charge for the Keith SWC .44 Special, and then I load the bullets.

I recently purchased two molds from Arsenal Molds.

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.
