    Remember that they should still be sized correctly after powder or your results will be tainted.

    does powder coating slow big bore ammo down

    I've been running powder coated subsonic 30 and 35 cal bullets in powder burners for years. The bore stays remarkably clean, velocity I never did a side by side comparison. The bullets still engrave fine and the rifling is only there to cause enough grip to impart spin. Glock and fx have...

    Plus one on that. Been doing it for years. I even tried coating bullets for my centerfire rifles using HBN powder. The .223 cal bullets came out so slick that they were hard to pick up.. I have mixed it in some light grease for use on things like handgun slide. or camming surfaces like on an...

    Sheridan C series in brass finish

    I will agree with the clear coat idea but suggest an alkalyd. Only because I can speak to it's durability. If you have an air brush it gets even better because you won't worry about over building the finish on such a cool gun. You have tapped into a gun that is a core memory for me and...

    1st time slug casting went very well and was fun too.

    Wow great job on first time casting!!!! Hollow points can be tough....I missed a few key details when i started casting..took me a lil bit to figure it out...Give powder coating a try....its pretty easy...it helps with leading for sure...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    I could too but the problem down here is that it does not get really cold long enough to get used to it. I remember 60 years ago when I was in college a friend and I went out to the range with our powder burners. It was cold, windy and sleeting and we kept shooting. Nowdays you are apt to see...

    Presslug support and discussions

    Yeah, I don’t know what's going on with Presslug and the larger dies, and even with the .2173 they had listed that was never available, that's borderline for most. One guy here had to powder coat his to shoot well but hasn't posted anything for a while. It's a shame you need to invest more and...

    Lubing Pellets

    I like using HBN powder for a lubricant I add some airsoft bb's to a ziplock baggie..then about 1/8 teaspoon of HBN and mix it up until all the bb's look white then add the pellets and tumble them around for a few until they have a been thoroughly coated, but not looking like they are heavily...

    Finally made a swaging die that doesn't stink...very much

    ...lead. Some claim a velocity improvement - hard to say among other variables. I do prefer it to bare lead. Poly coating (basically powder coating) is another option that has some fans among powder burners. If you don't mind sharing your materials, times and temps for hardening and...

    Airforce Tex-rex 50cal

    These are .510 650 Grain Spire Point Boat Tail at .5 B.C. They are powder coated. This slug shoot s good in my .510 Texan. With the T Rex you should be able to get 1000 foot pounds at 300 yards.. These are free for me..They came from horded wheel weight s from the 90s.. Have a real...

    What did you do airgun related today.

    Again I tried to powder coat my Mk 1 stubby, same bad results I got from a few months ago. All the other guns like my S&W 78 & 79 came out very nice. So I think it has too much porosity and oil is impregnated on it. Decided to just polish this for now until I can gain access to a large...

    does powder coating slow big bore ammo down

    I too moved to just using lubalox and Johnsons paste wax mixed together and a tool that lubes and sizes simultaneously. The process for powder coat was too time intense. I do shoot powder coated mostly but buy them in bulk pre done. As for gaining velocity. A light lubing with silicone...

    RAW Rapid Simply RAW (Mini)

    Having never handled a RAW air rifle. The material used for the block, is it the same as the Theobens from back when they were blued steel ( my guess ) or billet aluminum and powder coated? I do like a chassis but I much prefer wood and metal. I do prefer the chassis on the RAW then the bland...
