Where to buy tempilaq?

Post by A jones »

Hi all

I brought my last bottle of tempilaq for annealing from shooters warehouse and it turns out they don't list it in there website anymore I left the lid off my last one and it's gone hard now

Does anyone know where I can get some in Aus 750f ?

Cheers aaron

http://www.shooters.com.au is the only place I have found that stocks it.

Try sending an email or telephone. I have bought it when it has not appeared on their site. Hope they have not stopped stocking it. They also used to stock a solvent, for use if it solidifies in the bottle.

I just did a group buy through this mob and their service was really good and their price was competitive with anything I saw. Big thumbs up! =D>

750 was a bit hot for my liking. I found a 700 tempilstick at my local BOC gases outlet and touch it against the neck of a case the second it falls out of the annealer. If it "just" starts to liquify then I consider it done.

I use 750 on the inside neck and 650 on the shoulder with no issue at all,
As soon as the 750 turn clear I have the case dropout as annealing is a Temperature and time combination
700 would be fine too as the time to change between 700 and 750 is very quick so you are very close to the mark

The main thing is to see your group decrease and feel a really good consistent neck tension when seating bullets.
I started with just the 650 on the outside but the burning from the flame did not give me confidence that it was at the right temperature
With the 650 on the shoulder and the 750 in the neck I know I am right on the money and really consistent across the loads.

Maybe to much effort but I love consistency and like to see whats happening so I do not cause problems with my cases.
