I think I may have stumbled onto the thing that may take me over the top on Powder Coating.
I have been dinking around for over a year trying to get cast bullets to feed through my Feeder dies.
My preferred lube was NRA formula. Used that for a very long time.
Bullet feeders just gum up with the stuff and after a very short while your taking it apart to clean.
Tried talcum powder and other powders. Helped but did not solve the gumming.
Tried harder lubes. This helps but eventually they still gum up plus my plinking loads like softer lubes. Not pushing these things all that hard.
I tried the plinking load for my Rossi M92 in 357 magnum.
LEE 125gr rnfp ahead of 5 gr of Herco will shoot the bull out all day long at 100 yards.
If these shoot as well out of my Rossi. I may be a full convert.
These feed excellently. No errors to report at all. Perfect feeding.
It needs to warm up so I can get to the range...
Oh the 105's feed well enough. Better in the 9 than the .380.
The .380 you really have to seat them deep and depending on your feed ramp.
I do use the barrels on my .380 and 9mm as a gage when loading.
For some reason out of the blue one wont chamber smooth.
I just box all the ones that chamber 100% easy.
I am loading these at .358 so they are fat any way. I suspect the sticky loads are a thicker case.
If this PC works good I may size these to .356 because I dont have to worry about saving the lube groove.
