Just got mine , it works great.

Rube Goldberg

I bought a few boxes of .38 SPECIAL 105 GRAIN TCFP BLACK HI-TEK COATED LEAD “COWBOY CHOICE” & it's the perfect solution to a problem. New shooters can handle these rounds without a lot of noise, kick & muzzle flash. Very mild. Much milder than even wadcutters. Accurate too & doesn't lead my barrel. 105 grain bullet at 650 FPS. New shooters can learn the fundamentals using these rounds & when they're ready they can move on to self-defense ammo. I saw their groups improve & they love shooting my Ruger LCR. They used to hate shooting it even with wadcutters. They don't trust my micro 9mm pistols because too many malfunctions from weak hands & wrists.

wow

Very cool idea 👍

Dan; have you considered adding a luber to your excellent invention? Since Magma has closed down, there may be an opportunity to make your sizer even better

How good is it on belted rifle cases ?? Want about cam over ??? Love the ideas

Sir, this is an absolutely beautiful machine

Interesting machine Dan. Will it work to swage .22" cal lead hollow point slugs, for air rifles?

Awesome product Dan! Do you have a website?

May I inquire as to the starting BHN of your boolits? I've read from some sources that for loading hitek bullets, using a lower BHN is possible with the HiTek coating providing a degree of added protection.

Best, most detailed video on hi tek coating lead bullets ive seen to date. Thanks for this fella.

love this design, do you have a servo design in the works..... limited area to work in and not an air compressor type of person....lol

That’s pretty neat.

Cool video just to much work.. powder coat is easy and fast with amazing results

I've been using this one (th-cam.com/video/tiKkI8-iti4/w-d-xo.html) I built about 5 years ago. Uses Lee sizing dies. Not near as safe to use as yours but I probably only spent about $75 building it. After making this video, I added a V trough to feed the bullets to the die thus keeping my fingers out from under the ram. I also use it with Lees bulge buster for .45 ACP

Glad to see you’re making more video’s. The quality and presentation are great! I’m a subscriber.

Very neat! I'm glad I came across your channel. This is something I'm definitely interested in. What is the average cost to snag one of these?

That's so cool! Thank you for sharing, I'm so impressed!

Cool! Good to see you have been busy with more cool reloading gear.

Gun owners are funny. We love having pretty bullets just to shoot them at steel targets 😂😂

Is this OK to use in a black powder converted gun

I tried this product and find it much easier to apply then powder coatin. But I noticed that I can scrape it off with a fingernail, is that normal?

No thanks with your method. I don't want to spend my time playing with them. I want to make them, Load them and use them with no muss no fuss. And no barrel leading.

Tremendous video! Not just detailed instructions, but great tips.

Another excellent video. I run fairly high volumes and wanted to eliminate primer residue on my progressive, without sacrificing time efficiency. A Lee APP with a mount and adapter to feed from a Dillon case feeder was my solution. Though it can do thousands of rounds per hour, it would be fun to add your air cylinder drive…

Absolutely outstanding video! I’d been toying with the idea of doing something like that, for both a Star and a Lee APP. I’ve already 3D printed a nose down bullet collator and I think the combo could really be slick.

I ended up on Choice Ammos website one day & seen a real good price on 250gr 45 LC rounds. I was very skeptical about the Hi-Tek coating. I ran 10 rounds through my revolver & cleaned it. I was shocked at the results. 3 passes through the bore, a pass through each chamber in the cylinder, & a wipe down of the exterior. I was sold!! The gun was so much easier to clean using the Hi-Tek coated rounds. So much so, Choice Ammo is the only rounds I'll put through it now. Keep in mind, i do not use any aggressive cleaners on that particular revolver. All i have ever used is Ballistol. I always have a case of Ballistol tucked away. I use it for everything!! Long story short... Hi-Tek coating the bullets makes a significant difference

Fantastic set-up, really appreciate this video 👍

Have you ever tried anyone else's powder with thus method? I have a bunch of prismatic powder and I'm sick of tumbling lol.

Great video!

Thanks for the video. I’ve been tumble powder coating for a few years. I don’t need to do it in bulk like you did so I’ll stick to my tumble PC method. I have a 1000 ACME bullets with Hitec and they look nice but no where as nice or thick of a coating as my PC tumbled boolits.

dan im new to this all i love the vid you are easy to watch good camera work and all.... why did you drag your hand in the time of 12:05 and 12: 06 did we miss somthing

I think this is a great alternative to traditional lube, but I can't see this replacing powder coating. PC is so much easier and faster than HTC. Having to apply 3 coatings is a PITA. The results are pretty nice though 👍

Why??

McMaster Carr is my go-to for most stuff that I build stuff out of.

do you think this could be also set up on a Lee APP press? BTW very well done vid. 100% A+

Dan, I very much like your video on the automated star sizer. Where can I find your material list you talked about. Also, will your automated star be able to Lube and size at the same time using your setup ?

instructions says to have the oven temperature at 400, do you get better results with 480 degrees?

Moly coating is unusefull. It adds one more factor to make your load unconsistent, and doesnt make the barrel last longer. When you shoot it's also one more toxic chemical to breath. A lot of work for nothing

Outstanding!

Hello Dan! Thank you very much for your video (and another videos), I'm a beginner in lead bullets molding, so in coating - too. Watched some hardness tests of lead bullets, and usualy the most hard bullets are: from mold to water -> 20 min baked (if powder coating "shake and bake") and again to water for quenching. Did you compared hardness of bullets, maybe between not coated bullets and bullets that after coating (3 cycles of baking, without water quenching)? And also info from some "ISO"-like standards and test, that molded bullets get maximum hardness after 1 week of staying by themselves on the shelf) I trying to bake after 1 week, to decries hardness loss, but usual "shake and bake" on mesh or putting each bullet on silicon matt by pincett...it also got damage on bullets and layer of powder every time a little different. So...trying to find minimum loss of hardness and maximum usable process of full coating. Thank u very much, Nikita from St Petersburg, Russia ;)

You’re going to need a first aid kit (preferably one that contains a burn kit), notify next or kin, set your phone to speed-dial for 911, make sure to have your life insurance premium paid up, then have funeral arrangements made. Now!... let’s get down to how much better these coatings are that traditional waxing...

Thank you Dan, I hope you are doing well. Looking forward to more videos.

Awesome job sir.Eric from Sweden.........:D

I repeated and it works. However, I used laser temperature measurement and realized it is good to use it instead of temperature control in oven. After the last time bake, I through them into water to have BHN+1.

Very cool device well presented video.

How would you compare HTC to powder coating (eastwood ford blue)? I would like to keep things simple if possible and only go one route!

Instead of a timer I think I would use a push button so I can determine when it actuated.

If you can't make it perfect make it adjustable!
