@CWLONGSHOT got me off on the right foot when I hit him up with a specific question before I went off and reinvented the whole wheel again.
I only needed to do this for one specific application, because I have no complaints with tumble-lubing for everything else and get excellent results from that process.
I don't mean to drag everyone into repeating everything that's been said for every neophyte PC'er to date, so don't feel obliged to run to my rescue. NOT that I don't appreciate what I have learned from people here - I just don't want to make them repeat the "A, B, Cs" one more time. I don't even know enough about this to ask intelligent questions anyway.
I did some "research" and had ONE specific question and CW saved me a bunch of grief right out of the gate. I ran forty assorted, unlubed bullets (which was hard enough to find without casting some) and they came out even but thin. The next "batch" was about 750 35 cal bullets I cast up just for this application and they turned out great.
Anyway, this isn't about PC'ing bullets - it's really about a forum-member who took the time to interact personally to help a fellow-caster out.
The results are a testament to his ability to mentor:
EDIT: OK, I messed up my photos and cropped them somehow when resizing, so I'll try to fix that.
