[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1130727, member: 4191"] Cliff, I think David Tubbs supplies a 1/4 teaspoon measure to use with his HBN bullet coating kits. 0.5 mil is only 0.034 teaspoon. I suspect you're using more HBN than that. I was using about 1/2 teaspoon per batch on some of my early batches of bullets. Turned out just fine. But when I found out Tubbs was recommending 1/4 teaspoon, I started using ~1/4 teaspoon. Just means I was wasting a little HBN while using 1/2 teaspoon. If you're coating with 0.034 teaspoon, you're getting [I]great[/I] mileage out of your HBN. :) Nothing wrong with that if it's working well. CTF, Cliff may be right. I think you're using a lot more HBN than necessary in an 8 oz canning jar. You should be able to drop back to 1/4 teaspoon and be fine, based on my experiences. [/QUOTE]
