Copper Plating

TY TY Dan :)
Gonna need to probably replace the plastic tank I was using last year. Could clean it out, sure, but since I've gone from 'zig zag tube with hangers off of it' to the basket.... not having a dimpled out top would be handy (given all the structural strength that's at the rim).
Might change the basket design a little as well, but will prolly leave it alone until get beyond 'step 1' again heh.
Problems that need to be addressed from last attempts:
* i never got a decent coat with the rotating basket
** fewer bullets
** maybe just a clean / fresh solution will fix
* the driver smaller 'friction gear' would fall off or similar
** no immediate ideas of yet
** reinforcing the bigger wheel so it distorts less would probably help
* post-cast-lead-prep is slow
** still have the option of an acid bath

Go to www.berrybullets.com.
Buy some of their Gilded Bullets. [Over $50, shipping is free. You already know that fact.]
Now you will have Lots More Time for Shooting, instead of all these experiments where you learn lots but don't get shootable boolits.
You'll have Lots More Time to research something Really, Really of True Value to handgunners:
Namely, How to Get Lead Off the Muzzle Tip and Front End of the Cylinder for Lead Wad-Cutter Bullet Revolver Shooters.
Now that problem, Dear Friend, cries out for a solution.
And if you solve it, I will freely tell you what little I have learned about reloading .357Sig.
Do you realize I agonize every time your experiments don't work out??? Like watching the Huskers during the game with UCLA.

I use that on my stainless S&W 686 357mag all the time.
Lovely stuff.

You know, I really want to be a True Believer.........
But it couldn't be that Easy.
So far, nothin' in bottles, cans, pads, or brushes has ever worked for lead. Copper, yes. [Shooter's Choice]
Powder residue.......Good Ol' Hoppe's #9. [Anybody have any information on Hoppe's #1 thru #8??? Or WD1 thru WD39????]
But.........on Your Own Recommendation, I'll give it a try.
And report back. If it Doesn't Work, I'll tell you. If it Does, I'll tell the Entire Forum. Then Tom Engel and all those Lead Smelter-Casters can sell it in the package along with their cast boolits.
sfgPS - You have the DeLuxe Stainless Model. Mine is Plain Ol' blued Model 19. If it removes the bluing from Mr. Smith & Mr. Wesson, doesn't count.
