You should be able to do around 14k bullets with 2lb
Almost 4 years pc bullets and sizing with no issues.
Plenty of pics in this forum, start from the beginning

Tool blue single coat.
Cast and pc will add 1-2 tho , sizing should not be issue. When you resize if your getting to much resistance your adding to much pc. It should pass though the size with little effort.

GN, all the PC bullets I showed you when you were at my place had been "sized". I have noticed a slight scuff mark on the odd really hard cast comercial boolits (prob. in the 28 BN range) but nothing on any of my COWW bullets show any damage.

Has anyone done a clear powder coat on their bullets?
No. But read the other day that clear is supposed to give a more uniform covering when baked.

Hmm Wonder how it does with shake and bake. Might get some from emerald.
Theory is that without paint pigments it flows better, especially for shake and bake
Well the first batch. With this powder I had done some rifle bullets which turned out lousy. It seems to work bett er with these 9mm bullets. Also modified my casting station so I can bake inside, TGIC or not.
Nice D size electrical drawing covers up most of the front.

Lets discuss the important factor, how has everyones accuracy been? SO far the best ive managed was 13 inch at 100 yards with a 45 colt henry

I tried some of my 30-30 loads with light charge of varget (1650 fps) and was getting 2" 5 shot groups at 100 yards with m94 sights.
My plinking loads I get 1.5" at 45 yards with very light loads. Add a bit more powder and it goes down to .75" at 45 yards. I use the lighter loads though as they are a bit quieter.
With my pistol I get sub 2" at 15 yards from a rest. For me that is excellent as I am not a very good pistol shooter
With a bit more ocdness groups could be a lot smaller. There are guys on cast boolit forum that get some phenomenal accuracy from cast loads.
I got about a 4" five inch group at 100 with my Marlin 44 mag 1894 with Skinner peeps. I'm pretty happy with that. So far only managing 6-8" at 100 with Marlin 1894 in 357 but using irons. More work to do on the 357.
Once I find a scope base I will mount a scope for load development.
