Hi all,
I just signed up here and I am stoked to find this info all in one place for cast reloading. I have reloaded shot gun for years, and I am just now getting into reloading 9mm Luger. I am a plumbing contractor and have collected a buncho lead over the years, but last night at the "Zerns sale" a farmers market here in PA. I found these 9mm cast beauties all 7.5 lbs.for $10...NICE!
I went home and sorted them by weight (122 thru 128 grn.), and they all are between .355, and .358 on the dial micrometer. What I cannot figure is if they are coated or not? I coat my buckshot with Alox/mineral spirits/beeswax mix that smells like crayola crayons , but these boolits have no odor? Is there another way to check if they are coated?
That, and do you all think I should shove them thru a sizer before using? thanks guys!
Gerry
