Standing tall bullets for PC

Mini ice cube trays are what I buy

they JUST FIT a 35 cal. So yours are bigger.
IMHO ya dont beed it for 45. They stand on there own most of the time. Same for most 35's.

32/20 stand OK but long 30's DONT & need something like these silly trays.


As always, your mileage may vary.
I did find one finally with a .31 inch, I am going to use these instead of the parchment paper, that stuff is a pain in the butt anyway, it rolls up on me, have to put ingots on the edge till I got enough bullets to hold it down. Just pisses me off lol.

Yoshi copper stuff doesn't roll up, got them from her that uses them on the outside gas grill. CW - I DO the 30 cal heavies in the used ammo holder, did the flip til I removed the bottom of the holes which saved time and worked better. Can't bake with them on but easy to remove without dominos. You will get dominos if your bases have 'pimples'. But do whatever works for you.

Arthritis in my hands, not so much shake as pain when I am trying to stack close, the larger cal not so bad but the smaller ones give me fits, age doesn't help either lol and for CW I would have to call this a success!! Thanks!!

Im not OCD.
But I do appreciate that standing up makes for the absolute best chance of producing "perfect" PC finish with every and any powder that coats properly.

Silicone ice cube trays produce a good product as well but will leave marks as they get used. Again with any powder that coats properly.

Basket CAN produce near perfect bullets BUT not with all powders. As some powders will leave ya a big lump O Lead.:embarrassed: Other powders wont and simply work and break apart with very very slight marks.

Mot all will produce favorable Results and protect your bores from lead contact.
I have a number of videos showing all styles.

Waiting on amazon to deliver my new silicon trays, got a bunch of 30cal to coat, if these work as well as the other one I definitely give you a thumbs up CJ (and rest of you guys - but he told me first), going to make my life a little bit easier..

I am the one who would give up on the bi plane models and blow them up with fire works.
But seriously this does sound like a good idea for rifle bullets.

I need to find a way to clean or keep clean thees silicone ice cube trays. After a couple
Uses they collect "colors" and the quality if the coating deteriorates.

blow them up with fire works. Just use gun powder - like my Big Mo 'sunk'. But the plastic really stinks. Then Ma comes along and asks 'whatcha doin?'

How about throwing them in your tumbler with walnut media?
Just a thought from the peanut gallery.
