Did you coat those?

Gas checks?

So many questions.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Sorry to go off topic. But, I have to.

Blast from the past! My grade school (K-8, the same one my father attended) had steam radiators. By the end of the winter season they looked like tie-dyed fabric from the sixties (maybe that's what inspired it). All of my classmates each contributed a different colored crayon to melt and drip down the radiator that blended together into a vibrant, colorful display. The Teachers weren't nearly as upset by it as the Janitor.

Powder coating, that's the way.
Once I learned how, I won't do it any other way.

Yes, these are powder coated. The orange ones are 7.65x53 Mauser, green 356 Winchester, yellowish 357 magnum :-).

Those 357's look like 180's?

The yellowish ones are Lee 158 grain, the green ones are Lee 200 grain. I have had little luck with the 158 grains, but the 200's are very accurate, although too long for the Henry BBS to feed from the magazine.

I have the 200 gr Lee, and the 205 Lyman that I shoot out of the 35 Remingtons.
Never tried them in the 357, I have shot some 158's out of the 35 thought.

Good looking bullets you got.
