    I got my Arsenal molds .223 powder coat bevel base 5 cavity mold in 🙂🙂🙂 They are around 50 grains..I cast and powder coated 8 pounds today... They came out good 👍 today Shake and bake ...13 min at400 degrees...and stait out of oven into water quench..They all separate and no marks... It's takes a minute casting and powder coating to get it perfect 😊 I cast and powder coated around 1100 slugs Today for $8.00....Pure lead cost me $1.00 a pound

    @RM.510bigbore Wait. You're saying that you take them straight from the oven with powder coat and dump them into water? What's the purpose of doing that?
    R
    The reason being I powder coated 1100 slugs at one time. One heaping pile on a oven cookie tray..Dumping them hot 400 degrees instantly into water separates them perfectly no marks..Otherwise you would have to individual handle each slug a set up right in silicon.ice.cube trays.. So 1100 slugs cast time 4-5 hours. Total.time powder coating including 13 min oven maybe 30 min total..It took 8 lbs of pure lead at a $1.00 a pound to make 1100 47-50grain.slugs..Probably about 2 table spoons of powder coating... Arsenal 5 cavity mold $100.00 shipped... I rebelling against $20.00 a.hundred airgun slugs....lol. The fatal flaw casting is having.to size your slugs...Its a slow handle each slug process...... There is a.new.Lee APP press with feed tubes ,,its way faster,,, but I'm sure at a min$165.00 to $300.00 tricked out to work good ... Lee sizeing bushings will be here tomorrow in .221 and .222 diameter.. I'm ready to test my 22 condor= Chaszel 12 twist barrel liner... $68.00 😀

    Normally you charge the powder with electricity from a electrode in the tip of the gun, but another way to do it is friction charge it, basically agitating the powder so it collide with itself and so build up a static charge, just like in a cloud with thunder.
    I preferred to use the friction gun, well at least when i had to repairing stuff they messed up on the main line as there was no time to send it around again there.

    You can have electric build up on the subject which can make it hard to get the powder to apply even again, but there are also ways to Degauss a fire door or what ever it is you are repainting.


    I have seen some ( Chinese ) pretty much just dip stuff in a big vat of powder agitated by air from below,,,,,, you also need this for some 2 component powders so its mixed properly before you spray it, but in automated spray boots that recycle powder air on the powder are also used even if its just 1 component.
    This is generally a air pipe that sit below the suction pipe for the powder.


    IF things hanging on the conveyor are not grounded properly, and go thru a spray booth with like 8 - 10 guns in it, well the high voltage in the guns tip can actually create a powder explosion.

    Feeling the spirit to cast some .510 N.O.E 460 grains today. I reclaimed about 300 lbs of lead 3 years ago...I need to try to use it up....I went way over in buying powder coating too about 13 lbs of it....jeez ill never use it..I usually cast 50lbs at a clip...2 Lee 20 lb production pots and a PID controller.... Shake and bake 25 lbs of slugs powder coating at a time.Water quench out of oven to get them to separate perfectly.. Can post pictures of process if.it may help anyone... If anyone needs .510 slugs I will have lots...

    I hate x bows...But a turn in luck...My buddy is giving me his KI Boss 405 when the new limbs arrive Wednesday... He is getting a KI Fatal X....Its a blessing... Money in budget for Pennsylvania 22 pcp...Lots of squirrel coyote fox.and few elusive ground hogs...
    R
    Update I hate crossbows!!!!!!!! Ahhhhh....Just setup my buddies KI Boss 405with UTG 130 BDX scope......Spent a day and had it hit the target perfectly at 120 yards.....not as accurate as Airsaber put pretty good......Anyways bow season starts buddies adjusting scope says it moved inches at 20 yards.....I had it perfect... Told him limbs are probably shot.....seen him today limbs spit....had to make contraption to fire xbow with frayed limbs...his third set of limbs...warranty.. But still unreliable..... Crossbow are effective but disposable....
    R
    I absolutely love my Airsaber.. It shoots so constantly.. It never breaks... Ahhh I have to go waste my money again on my third crossbow... Wish regulations would change.... Crossbow s are a disposable item sadly.... Airsaber so .much more friendly to use being semi handicap..... My last crossbow I recycled when the limbs broke and no parts available..... Its now a stock for my .510 Texan....

    My niece was back in the states visiting, from her home in the Philippines. She was just enjoying the country side...deer.fawns..rabbits.. Orchard.. Ect..she said she shot archery and enjoyed it. I didn't have a bow but I did have a Umarex Airsaber... She was excited to try a airbow..Her first shot she hit and lost the arrow...2nd and 3rd bent arrow.. After that all bull eye s at 20 yards. With straight arrow anyway.. She can't wait to go back to the Philippines and tell her friends and country airbows.. Just made me happy😀

    Beautiful Day feeling decent thinking about shooting the Airsaber at a 100 yards Today and posting some groups!!!!Hopefully don't loose any arrows.... Fingers. Crossed
