    https://www.facebook.com/share/dBLavxK3gjetJfEa/?mibextid=WC7FNe Just picked up one of these. Same part wolverine 3d printed over. I think it was 68$ and i just might paint it black. I could powder coat it too. Never thought i would see the day I would have a 4500 tank on this gun. Tank...

    Yes, I remember, my smokeless powder reloads were not so smokeless.

    Tuning Would a tank enjoy a depinger, or only cylinders?

    Interesting. I have an unopened can of black plastidip right next to me…I could try and always peel it off if it doesn’t work. so if I understand correctly, your observation it that it may indeed have worked?

    Polyester tgic powder coat is all I use. It flows well and gives a nice even coating.

    Yes powder coating works. One absolutely huge benefit is never handling lead or lead exposure. I smoke I don't wanna wash my hands every time I handle a slug. It does reduce leading.... If your barrel is absolutely rough no powder coating won't fix horrible factory barrel.. I hand lapped my...

    Sounds like you have the experience it takes to make a big bore pcp accurate!!!! Give powder coating a try!!!Or buy some slugs already powder coated..It doesn't hurt anything 😀 Keep up the good work

    ...the vehicle. But everyone was bitching about the paint job and wished it was powder coated. That would cost me more money on the production side. If my painted kayak racks continued to sell to the point I had trouble keeping up with demand, do you think I would even consider powder coating them?

    Tried powder coating my 105’s today. My only comment is I will have to refine my technique 🤣. Also casted a hundred fifty or so round balls. They mic out at .363. They chamber kind of stiff, but shot well at 35yds. Going to try to go out in the morning and take it out to 50, maybe 75.

    ....Many different forms of jacket s are used for similar results. No powder burners are wearing out barrels from solid copper slugs. Powder coating is a Jacket performing similar results to copper jackets at less velocity of course. Powder coat makes your slug more slippery. And of course lube...

    hBN (Hexagonal Boron Nitride) vs fouling

    I will cross over worlds here from powder burners and mention lanolin as a binder/lube. Aka wool wax. It's sheep's wool oil basically. No idea if it works here but I used to use it for bullet lube when casting for the subsonic powder burner envelope.

    Do you have any experience with powder coating?

    LEE APP Press for sizeing Cast Slugs? Anyone Using?

    I was thinking of getting a Lee APP press for sizeing Airgun Slugs...I can cast five at a time.....I.can powder coat about 10 lbs at a time.. Sizeing the powder coated slugs is the slowest step...Handling each individual slug....I already have the Lee App bushings and bottle adapter.. I.just...

    Other Plastic pallet theory

    I've tried coating and heat curing pellets (HiTek coating). No carbon build-up in barrel, but terrible accuracy/precision likely due to inconsistent coating of pellets, despite putting very thin coatings for each of 3 to 4 coats.

    ...with deformation. 400 degrees is well below the melting point of lead. It will lower the bhn of some alloys temporarily, but the hardness will return as they season. If I am powder coating an alloy and I want maximum hardness, I water quench them as soon as I take them out of the powder coat...

    Wax and gun bores

    I shoot >20K rounds per year in local pistol comps and cast my own boolits so I get what you are saying. I moved away from wax lube years ago and now only use powder coat. Its a LOT cleaner and nearly smoke free.
