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😉

How much do you have to use when mixing with alcohol?

I had a little time today so I decided to tumble the receiver, then powder coat it (the tumbling removed all the burrs & roughed up the surfaces for the powder to stick better). I chose a satin black which looks quite cool, in my opinion. Also turned a bolt handle, using el cheapo knurling tool...

They're either just covering their tails, or referring to very *tiny* differences that most people wouldn't even be able to discern. A good anodizing shop can match a color to well within what you can readily see. Look at all the anodized commerical products from big brands - those brands...

The powder coat doesn't interfere at all. It usually pops off in one piece and floats to the top of the melt. I skim it off as it does.

I have the 45 grain actually closer to 48 grain average Arsenal molds spire point powder coated and sized to .222 shooting in the Chaszel 12 twist barrel liner. The Chinese Amazon 8mm valve with heavy hammer and 90 gram hammer.is.getting around 875 fps in the 27.5 Chaszel barrel liner...Initial...

Cool I'm going to look into the moly coating Yes happy to share my heat treat numbers. Like I said I use A2 Steel. Since I have a heat treat oven I have the luxury of fairly precise heat treat temperatures. I let my dies soak at 1750f for at least 15 minutes. I foil wrap (in 309 foil stainless...

So in case anyone runs into this problem down the road here's what I did and what worked for me. So because it only happened with the cover on I thought something might be rubbing, trouble was nothing showed on the cover. I sprayed the cover with a light coat of athletes foot powder and put it...

Use a zip-lock bag, regular size. Add an amount of hBN equivalent to a full .22 cal casing. Close the bag with most the air removed and the bag flat, then shake bag until it is coated. Add pellets and shake and roll them around until all are more white than gray but not snow balls. I wash...
