    I have a question, does the coating stay on well enough to prevent getting lead in your suppressor/silencer ?

    On the bullets I’m using I would say no. I haven’t shot any through my suppressor but the flash hider on my 9mm AR had a good amount of lead built up in the holes. I never had barrel leading issues though.

    Mapper, let me be the first to place my order for some 325 to 350 grain 44 magnum bullets. 1000 - 2000 would be good

    Mapper, pay close attention to the instructions when they talk about smoking the molds. Those lee molds require a little deferent process than cast iron molds.

    Will do, thanks.
    I would expect aluminum molds behave a bit different than steel ones, I've seen suggestions to heat them with the sprue plate down, due to different thermal properties of the steel and aluminum. It's all going to be a learning curve. I have some lyman or ideal molds as well..I just wanted a round profile to start with
