i haven't any personal experience with them but guys using them say it cuts way down on the amount fouling vs a lubbed slug. There are a bunch of articles about powder coated bullets in general not just a particular brand.

Impressive velocity for sure!!!! Right there with a stock texan.....1000 fps with 134 is great😀...What kind of barrel a TJ liner? I'd hook up to external regulator and run it right at 3625psi for consistent fps.with your heavy slugs... Nice powder coated slugs..

We use to take our M16s in the shower, strip, dry in the sun, and oil. Never any rust

Yeah hardening myself. I'm a parttime knifemaker so luckily I've already got the setup and background for hardening. I'm using A2 steel and I fully harden it to 60+ hrc and then temper WAY back to 50. I do my final machining hard. Leaves a really nice finish. That's a great idea. Make a...

Well I stumbled into the HBN powder dry lube thread and decided to give it a try. I tried lubed pellets, HBN coated and straight from the tin. I tried it on CPHPs and JTS16’s. It didn’t help the accuracy of either pellet. Long story short straight from the tin shot the most consistent, at least...

I'm aware and fully understand the batch difference possibilities in anodizing. Prior to purchasing the "Not Copper" Backbone I worked with Lee at Black Ice Coatings (Utah Airguns custom shop) on an attempt to color match the FX Copper with Ceracoat and Automotive quality Paint. Every attempt...

The pleasure is all mine! Great shooting, Mike 😁

I think hand coating won't tell u the exact benifit if any, may be some who have access to precision industry can make such coating with exact thickness and weight all around and tell it good or bad

Good questions, and slug selection is a process I put way too much time into. 1. I sort to remove all pills with any defects. 2. I use a digital micrometer to spot minor to major out of round issues. 3. I then weigh each round and organize by weight, with + or - of no more than 2gr. So anything...

@EdinGa I wouldn't know which is why I asked. I was trying to make sense of the deformation aspect. I guess the important thing to take away from the article is to be mindful not to place trays too close to the heating element. Even still, if the oven is set to around 400F and left to bake for...

Is that the HI-Tek coating?

When I see people use wd40 on a firearm I just cringe. That crap will gum up when it gets mixed with carbon/powder and heat.

i have been experimenting with HBN as a dry lubricant ..i like the results so far Although i am really not seeing a big difference in the fouling of the barrel using JTS pellets, I am seeing an improvement in accuracy only been testing it for a few weeks, but looking positive. Note ..i have...

Nice shooting, Mike. Were those Altaros ATP Kings the 5.50mm or the 5.52mm? Is this from the LW 1:15.75 barrel?

Anyone have any issues with pellets or slugs deforming when baking on the powder? I ask because I came across the issue in this article. https://www.handloadermagazine.com/powder-coating-cast-bullets

Years ago I was experimenting with powder coating slugs. A guy on here called Trinitymaker (I think) had a topic about it. Personally I never was happy with the effort vs the rewards. I recently revisited testing some powder coated slugs in my best rifle trying to extend my shot count cleaning...

Powder coat your bullets to increase their diameter by 0.004". Or; paper patch them like the old timers did: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+paper+patch+bullets

Another alternative that I’ve been reading about is powder coating and sizing slugs. Thing is, I’m unsure if they need to be cleaned prior to powder coating. Again I don’t clean slugs or should I say I haven’t felt the need to clean any slugs I’ve bought. Griffin and NSA slugs come good to go. I...

I made a transfer choke similar to most of the other 1/4 turn types. Plenty of room for this modification. I just barely took off the anodize around the hole to get rid of the lettering. I’ll put some powder coat on the parts….someday maybe. Dave
