I took a leap of faith and bought a Trajectron 9inch moderator 1/2-20 threads all aluminum construction.. It's just like a Donny...It works good..I tested a bunch on my slugs with my Pennsylvania Legal Airforce Condor .222 Chaszel Barrel Liner 12 twist 27.5 inches long...I shot my 48 grain...

Another option would be to powder coat them for the increased diameter in the mean time.

You could try powder coating if you are worried about lead exposure. I have seen even pellets as small as 22cal. powder coated. I use it on some bigger cal. and they work fine and no barrel leading. Lots of info on these forums about them.

Wow,,,so impressive... Looks like a excellent candidate for some powder coating!! Keep up the good work!!!

Thanks on the slugs, not sure but I believe its a TJ next time I will take my regulator and do that, I was wanting to see how many useful shots I could get on a 3600psi fill.

It's usually about .001 when I shake and bake. I start with a small amount of powder and only add more if I don't have good coverage.

Big bores like to be clean!!! If your already casting give powder coating a try...It helps with leading.... Looks like you have a shooter😀

They are literally trying to file their teeth down. Their teeth are constantly growing so they can grow too long then they starve to death.

@EdinGa Thanks for the insight.

...field I usually take the SCBA tanks and I take the digital 12v Tuxing TXET063 just in case. I just like to make and modify things. I'm a machinist and have access to some pretty neat machinery in my shop like lathes, mills, metal laser cutters, powder coating equipment etc. Why not use them...

Thanks! You get good at things you enjoy doing.

Smoke definitely has good powder. Most tigc polyester powder gives the best one coat coverage in my experience.

...are coming out with wrinkles. I've tried raising the temperature and lowering with no luck. I'm using soft lead pipe to cast with. My first try at powder coating didn't go to well with my round balls, very inconsistent. I used orange prismatic powder from Amazon and it didn't coat hardly at all.

Thank you greatly. I am going tomorrow to buy some soft lead (old pipe) I guess I will try both to see what works best. I will be attempting to powder coat all of my ammo for the Texan. Currently have a 300gr mold, a lee 340gr and 143gr round ball. Powder was delivered today and already have a...

Now for some of the slugs that @Greg_E sent. First up I shot the red powder coated hollow tip slugs. These felt more 130-135 grain, but I can’t recall the weight I was told. I’ll have to review some old messages and weigh them. They mostly measured .357 in diameter. I measured the diameter of 4...

I powder coat and then size them.

Casting at home is a priceless skill once the knowledge is acquired...... I love being able to cast and powder coat all my own slugs...Much much more affordable

That's a good idea.I have a couple of throating reamers for powder burners that I should have tried that with when I had one. I might have to buy another one just to experiment.

Having the quality control casting yourself makes a big difference... Powder coating helps reduce leading... Castboolits.com has all the info you could ever need. I also learned and highly recommend Elvis ammo YouTube channel on casting ,lead recovery, and bulk shake and bake powder coating...
