Sorry haven't been around in a while, Been busy with other things around here.
Had a little finder bender yesterday and it seem like I have a thing for preachers wifes. Only two finder benders I've had were both married to preachers and I think there the best ones to have wrecks with because there always so nice.
Anyway I use zep root killer and vinegar, Heated and I'll get some pictures up as soon as I get the new pot setup my old one burned out the heater.
The reason I plate is because there is know leading that way and so far I don't see any copper fouling either. And you can load them a little hotter than the plain cast bullets.
I haven't used a gas check on these yet it doesn't seem like it needs it.
The only problem I've ran into with cast bullets is the load won't fully cycle auto so I add about 2 Gran's of powder till I get the results I want.
I mix my alloy its is a little harder than #2 but not by much. I test fired the 380 rounds Wednesday at a friends because I made them for my wifes father and I don't have a 380. They were pretty accurate for a gun with a 4 1/2" barrel.
