The stuff has certain applications where it works pretty good, and a lot where it's the last thing in the world you want to use!i tried some dry moly spray on some bolts/nuts at work once.
all the nuts kept backing off as things jiggled around.
since there was about 18-K of pressure being held in by those nuts i was getting some worried.
Smart man!No intention of trying it after reading all the negative post.
You mean the bullets or the COAL? If it's the bullets themselves, are they coming out of the mould differing? If they start out the same length but differ after sizing, then that's your issue. There are ways to work on that. If it's after seating, same thing.Thanks for the much needed advice for an old timer. Now I'm discovering none of my 86 gr Loverin bullet are the same length when trying to achieve the same oAL. Maybe it's the gas check. I'm gonna send them down range anyway..
As they drop from the mold..You mean the bullets or the COAL? If it's the bullets themselves, are they coming out of the mould differing? If they start out the same length but differ after sizing, then that's your issue. There are ways to work on that. If it's after seating, same thing.
They look good and they are coming out different lengths? How much different?They all look good. I got to thinking about the alloy. I'm using a little softer than before..
Couple thousands. So enough to frustrate me. LolThey look good and they are coming out different lengths? How much different?
So, you say they all look good, but vary 0.002" in length?Couple thousands. So enough to frustrate me. Lol
Has anyone taught you the secret handshake yet? Me either.... I feel shunned.....002" variance in raw casting length probably wouldn't show up on scaled bullets, let alone downrange. Life is way too short to sweat those sorts of variances.......but that's me.
I can think of a couple possible causes--likely due to sprue plate dwell between cavities. But see my 2nd sentence above. Bias alert--I am a known and notorious heretic in a number of venues, not least of which is the casting and reloading realms. I am on A&SBC because of these traits, having worn out my welcome at other hobby sites for failing to genuflect when directed to do so and/or daring to disagree with the Powers That Be over matters of small consequence.
I've found my tribe.
