I love those wide flat nose bullets! I wish you could find them to buy as easily as the standard SWC designs.

Boy oh boy. That's just why I ordered this mold from NOE moulds out of Provo Utah. They have this mold in a gas check profile too.

This may be a crazy question.
But what is the purpose of powder coating is it the identify different loads.
And with a twist of a barrel will it not take it off?
Just curious.

Nitro, do you sell bullets? You should think about it if not. A little side business....

Hi trailer. No, no sales for me. I did the retail sporting goods business for 40 years. Mostly jacketed from the usual suspects, Speer, Hornady, PPU, an so forth. These will be part of my barter stash. Never know when money becomes good only for that toilet paper that can't be found in the stores any more. It will be amazing how fast a supply of lead can be used up. About time to order some super hard alloy from Roto Metals to alloy up my next 500 pounds of lead bricks.

Nitro : do you know of a source/method cheaper than ordering from rotometal for obtaining elemental tin? I think I can handle the bulk of things through wheel weights and pure lead from recycling places. But I’d like to source tin for cheaper than freaking $33/lb. I want to hit 20:1 or similar

I'll tell ya scout, I know how hard it is to find. I've only found two places to get tin that I can trust to be tin. First is Roto. It's high but I've not found another source that's commercial and a business that's got it in stock when you need it. The other place I've gotten tin, and for a lower price is on the website castboolits.com, they have a sub forum called selling /swapping , many members sell pewter and some sell tin. I picked up 5 one ounce bars of 99.5 pure tin for half of what Roto costs. And, if your a caster, it's a casting forum you should join. It's an amazing site for casters.

[Linked Image]

Here's the five bars plus one ounce of tin wire clipping from Roto.

This might help you. A 20 to1 is going to give you a BHN hardness of 10. You can get the same 10 BHN if you mix equal parts of pure lead and wheel weights. Here's a alloy calculator I use when mixing alloy for different hardness requirements.

Here's the website for the calculator.

I got the Chinese virus. So am about to load 500 rounds of 357 and 300 rounds 44 mag. Might do about 40 of 300wsm. At least until my fever makes me pass out at the loader.

Thanks Brother! Hasn’t been too bad this time. Good reason to clean weapons and load ammo! Never seems to be enough hours in the day to do what I love to do.
