It would be interesting to see how much lead these guys leave behind.

It would also be interesting to fire these and the ones you reference above into some ballistic gel. Mike, do you still have any gel laying around?

[Rumbler]

Yes. Still have the gel and the cooker to reconstitute it afterward.


I'm trying to learn more about their "Hi-Tek" coating. I would sure like to jump to the conclusion it means "supersonic is not a problem". But I'm not sure that is the case.


Looking at the magazine (Blue Press) I see the word "BluePress" can be entered in the "promotion" box during checkout for 5% off the order, and that they have a 65 pounds for $14.00 flat rate shipping too.

That's interesting . Do you think they're powder coated?

[polebarn]

It sure sounds like either Cerakoting or a solid form of Exxon Mobil 1. I know that sounds goofy but the company really specializes in lubricants. I wonder if it's a variation on the moly coating Black Hills uses.

$20 for enough to do 16 thousand bullets . You can't complain about the cost.

[wheelman]

ok

I am going to order some up and I will pick up a box of the 115 grains just to play around with.

get the gel ready.

Anybody know if I will need a cast bullet expander to flair the case mouth so as not to shave lead to load this bullets?

[wheelman]

From the research I did on the web yesterday, more than one indicated that it would be needed. I think all were referencing using cast bullets made at home.

Given the fact that I forgot to order one in placing my midway order - odds are that it will be needed.

If you are talking about the Missouri Bullets, maybe we will get lucky. I have found those to be pretty good with respect to specs (for 45 ACP and 38 SPL).

Not really an answer but you are certainly on the money with your question. I will let you know for sure in about a week for both home made cast and Missouri.

Thanks.
