That is a good deal but I already have enough plated bullets to last me quite a while. I am strongly leaning towards going  strictly plated. I do mold my own but it seems like too much work lately with the need to size and lube every bullet I drop. Even considering that I have automatic temperature control on my melting pot, plated bullets seem to be the answer. A simpler and much cleaner process at that. Perhaps one day I will find a buyer of my molding equipment  and I will be able to move on ...

Thank you,
For everything.

Have you ever thought of offering membership sponsorships. Yearly, Three year, or lifetime sponsorships?

Not store bought but I am casting 200 grain very similar to the bullet UW uses. No coating of course. Had a "oversized as cast" or "too hard to size" issue until I switched to a softer lead mix. Test bullets now pass the gauge. Waiting to get my Star setup complete to do actual load testing. Will post pictures when testing and setup complete.

Not much really ...
Cleaned up my branch. Sorted all the brass and bullets. Set up my Star sizer/luber. Set the pot up with lead standing by. Secured loading bench to the wall. And finally cleaned top to bottom. Still more to go but hey ... it's a start

Hello all.
My name is Patrick. I currently live in socal but I am originally from Michigan. I am not new to powerful handguns having owned many 44 magnums and one 500 magnum. After much thought I decided the 10 mm was the best "handgun" for all around use including bear defense (just got back from Alaska, beautiful) and bad guy detergent. Hope to learn as much about this versatile caliber as possible. Waiting for my Glock 20 ten day waiting period to end. Already have a KKM barrel, extended slide release, new sights (can't remember the model), SS guide rod at 22#s, and the reloading supplies to support this endeavor.

Look forward to sharing the interest ...
