I'm aware and fully understand the batch difference possibilities in anodizing. Prior to purchasing the "Not Copper" Backbone I worked with Lee at Black Ice Coatings (Utah Airguns custom shop) on an attempt to color match the FX Copper with Ceracoat and Automotive quality Paint. Every attempt...

The pleasure is all mine! Great shooting, Mike 😁

Got some 38 and 9mm samples ordered from badman.......we shall see

That’s awesome shooting Jamie. Crow

I think hand coating won't tell u the exact benifit if any, may be some who have access to precision industry can make such coating with exact thickness and weight all around and tell it good or bad

Good questions, and slug selection is a process I put way too much time into. 1. I sort to remove all pills with any defects. 2. I use a digital micrometer to spot minor to major out of round issues. 3. I then weigh each round and organize by weight, with + or - of no more than 2gr. So anything...

@EdinGa I wouldn't know which is why I asked. I was trying to make sense of the deformation aspect. I guess the important thing to take away from the article is to be mindful not to place trays too close to the heating element. Even still, if the oven is set to around 400F and left to bake for...

Is that the HI-Tek coating?

When I see people use wd40 on a firearm I just cringe. That crap will gum up when it gets mixed with carbon/powder and heat.

i have been experimenting with HBN as a dry lubricant ..i like the results so far Although i am really not seeing a big difference in the fouling of the barrel using JTS pellets, I am seeing an improvement in accuracy only been testing it for a few weeks, but looking positive. Note ..i have...

Nice shooting, Mike. Were those Altaros ATP Kings the 5.50mm or the 5.52mm? Is this from the LW 1:15.75 barrel?

Anyone have any issues with pellets or slugs deforming when baking on the powder? I ask because I came across the issue in this article. https://www.handloadermagazine.com/powder-coating-cast-bullets

Years ago I was experimenting with powder coating slugs. A guy on here called Trinitymaker (I think) had a topic about it. Personally I never was happy with the effort vs the rewards. I recently revisited testing some powder coated slugs in my best rifle trying to extend my shot count cleaning...

Powder coat your bullets to increase their diameter by 0.004". Or; paper patch them like the old timers did: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+paper+patch+bullets

Another alternative that I’ve been reading about is powder coating and sizing slugs. Thing is, I’m unsure if they need to be cleaned prior to powder coating. Again I don’t clean slugs or should I say I haven’t felt the need to clean any slugs I’ve bought. Griffin and NSA slugs come good to go. I...

I made a transfer choke similar to most of the other 1/4 turn types. Plenty of room for this modification. I just barely took off the anodize around the hole to get rid of the lettering. I’ll put some powder coat on the parts….someday maybe. Dave

A Teflon infused powder coat works on slugs. Never tried it on pellets. Just add solvent and spray your slugs one coat and cure them in a small toaster oven. Makes them .001" larger in diameter. An even coat produces a very accurate round. Doesn't completely stop barrel fowling or increase...

Powder coated Apology 28 grain 5.5 slugs.. I hand lapped the choke out of my factory Airforce 22 LW barrel removed the last inch and recrowned . I need bigger slugs to even slug the barrel...So I real fast shake and bake some industrial silver powder coat to them.. It worked.... It built up...

I'm ready to.try bore waxing with powder coat slugs and hand lapped.barrels... So many good ideas😉
