Just remembered the debate is on, switched over and discovered, I'm still watching the walking dead..... Switched back to AMC. Stop the world, I want to get off.![]()
I need to binge watch Season 6 this weekend! Before the debate, I prepared for not-watching it by going to the range and sending down 200+ rounds of freedom.![]()
I've been reloading for many years, I shoot mainly cast bullets in my handguns. This winter I want to get into casting my own bullets, I bought everything I need to get started and I have a huge stockpile of lead, just need to get at it. I'm going to go with coating the bullets instead of the traditional lubes, there's an easy and inexpensive shake and bake coating I read so much about on the castboolit forum. There's no lube messing up your reloading equipment and you don't have to worry about the hardness of your alloy which can be tricky, some guys tried using soft pure lead and they preformed well, not something you want to do but can. With this coating, you treat them more like a jacketed bullet, you can shoot them in a stock Glock barrel (polygonal rifled barrel), there is zero leading and it won't harm the barrel, actually the barrel run cooler.I've been buying HE2's and 25r's from Amazon for about $5 ea in lots of 4 for the last 2 yrs.
I wanted to get to the club yesterday and put some round downrange but I just have too much that needs to be done before the snow flies and having a nice day to get some of those knocked off the list took priority. I know, I've got my priorities all screwed up.I've been reloading for many years, I shoot mainly cast bullets in my handguns.
