Crayola of Death innaccuracy theory

Pretty sure he has been around long enough to know that.

Thank you DS...

The limited number of un-coated lead bullets that I fire through my suppressor is not a concern to me.
If any crap gets blown into my suppressor, I run a bunch of 308 through it to knock it loose & blow it out.
As far as lead accumulation, I haven't noticed any at this time.
If any does accumulate, the 30P-1 is 100% Ti so I can dip it, or I can send it to TBAC for cleaning.
(TBAC will clean their suppressors once a year at not charge.)

Thanks for trying to look out for me "Rushthezeppelin".
Have a wonderful day folks...

Gas checked boolits. Shouldn't have a problem there anyway correct?

Ohhh, good deal. Forgot about the dips and didn't know TABC did free yearly cleanings. Anybody know if silencerco has a policy like that? Got an Omega OTW. Stainless and Stellite are cool for dips as well right?

BTW sorry if I came off as pompous.

No worries...

While researching coatings, I came across this thread over at castboolits and decided to try out the VHT Epoxy paint on the remainder of my aged PB COD boolits.

Anyone on here experimented with this yet?

I have a honeycombed piece of metal from an old space heater and will be using it to put the COD boolits nose down and apply the VHT using the spray can.
Prior to applying the VHT, I'll be surface prepping the boolits by tumbling them in acetone.
Three coats, proper curing, and then sized to .309" in the Lee push through sizing die.
I plan on using the same load as I used for the gas checked tumble lubed COD.

Have to be careful because some gas checks will fall off the bullet as it leaves the muzzle. A gas check inside a silencer is not a good thing. Not only would it be neat impossible to get out but it will also rattle constantly. And if it somehow got into the bullet's path it could cause a catastrophic failure.

I thought about that later. I know that had been metioned before.

Yea, I had a gas check come off when I did my first test shots and it scared the hell out of me.
Fortunately, it came off after it left the suppressor.
It hit a piece of metal close by any left a nice dent.

I seat my checks with a modified channel lock and use Hornady crimp on gas checks.

I've heard of folks using superglue to make sure that they don't come off, but that seems like a pain.

So far, that one was the only one that has come off, but it only takes one to ruin your day.
I think that particular boolit may of had a less than perfect shank and I was pushing them way too fast. (2,200 fps)
Won't make that mistake again.

I wonder what effect PC or Epoxy paint has on GC?
If it is applied after the check is seated, I would think that it would keep it in place.
If it is applied after the check is seated, would it come off easier or would the crimp bite well on the coated shank?
(I need to get off my lazy ass and just research that over on http://castboolits.gunloads.com/)

Yes, I've tried that, have the same can on my shelf. It didn't work well at all; the paint strips off in the bore. Interesting experiment, but total failure. If you try it, recover your bullets and look at the rifling marks.
