Thanks Jesse
I'll definitely check that out.
Yup on the rifle instead of pistol Venom.
I'm just using the 9mm because it's all I cast ATM.
More so just to work on the hot tumble method to see if I can make it work.
I "might" order a 7.62x39 mold soon as well as a .309 150g which I can use in my 06, (bolt), or my over under 30-30/20ga.
The later is pretty old, Savage 24V-A.
So I won't push that one too hard.
The 06, (mod. 700), is fairly old as well. I've owned it since new for almost 34 years now.
Less than 100 rounds down the pipe would be a safe bet. And would be a good candidate for testing some rifle boolits.
On my earlier mention of a new shooting buddy.
He mentioned to me that when he worked at the PC factory.
They would dump 50# bags of PC into a vat that had air supplied to the bottom of the vat.
With the proper amount of air pumped in, the PC would look like boiling water and they would dip the hot parts into the bubbling PC for an unspecified amount of time.
And then pull it out and it was left to cool and the job was done.
He said there wasn't any powder flying in the air, which I find hard to believe.
But if the air is regulated properly, he claims that that is the case.
So far I have not had much time to contemplate how to apply this method to boolits.
Or if it even could be? Perhaps someone else can put some brain cells into action on this idea?
The only thing I can come up with is gripping, (lightly), the tips with some sort of clamp.
That would allow, most importantly, the bottom, to be coated, as well as the sides.
Then set them, (prob not work for BT), on parchment to cool ?
It's making my head hurt ATM :banghead:
Whatcha think ?
Cuz I... dunno
