Bullet coating?

[laowho]

Hi Chris, No I haven't and I'm still green at this. To wit, the Saecos didn't really take any sizing--and a few passed straight thru--but the Lyman 132s were so tight to the brass after sizing that I'm glad I had the sizer. In fact, the first two bulged the brass neck, so I tried compressing the powder further which necessitated seating the bullet further as well , which backed the bullet off the lands by 1/16" but it worked. (Doesn't necessarily make sense, I know. But maybe it made me more precise w/ my second measurements and I minimized the amount I was compressing w/ bullet/powder contact? But that doesn't make sense either--the brass neck of the first 2 was positively ribbed at every driving band. I dunno.)

So yeah, the Saecos can probably go unsized, but also figured that as a 2-cavity mould the sizing would gimme better consistency. Really think these are gonna be my go-to bullet and now I want the 745. With any luck we'll be shooting tomorrow if the weather holds. Cheers, Doug
