What is the time limit on editing posts these days? 'Seems like I was able to go back and add data or move/modify pics in my threads for quite a bit longer than I am now.

I don't think there is a limit honestly. let me go back to my older posts and check

nevermind. my oldest post I can edit is sept. 27th
so looks like 5 days

I know this is off-topic, but have you noticed the amount of new casters and reloaders have really taken a dive over the summer. when I first joined I lil over a year ago, there would be pages of new reloaders/casters trying to get advice on powders, load data and what starting equipment to buy, it was always full of interesting conversation. this isn't a bad thing, just an observation. hopefully its a sign that the panic is subsiding and we can get back to anomalies like.....powder choice and decent prices on primers and cases.

Ok well I'm adding to Skizzums,

I personally think that for the most part they are working things out for themselves and only pop in once in a while now to get specifics.

Like you mentioned there were a lot of post and now there are only a few here and there. I figure they got enough info to get started out and are now either "experts" or are moving ahead cautiously working on loads for their firearms.

I think I'll make the pink ones. Have some gay friends who will squeal with excitement over those bullets. Hell, maybe I'll make some rainbow ones lol

Beagle333 · October 4, 2014, 05:11 PM

You probably could make some rainbow ones if you sprayed only once from each direction with each color. It'd be a pain to clean the sprayer between.... but it would give you a nice 4 color pattern, I believe. You might have to do it with only one row of bullets at once, so the air pattern wouldn't deflect the overspray onto your last-sprayed color.

'Not gonna try it though.... I'm happy with one color at a time thus far, but I have considered doing some red tips, just for the fun of it.

Those look great. Does anyone sell those?

Beagle333 · October 30, 2014, 06:34 PM

I am not aware of anybody selling powdercoated rifle bullets.
