While im at it this is the way I powdercoat my bullets, so why powdercoat well its like a jacketed bullet?
it doesnt need lube,
you can user softer lead alloys (and can save those hard to get alloys like linotype bars and make them last longer),
doesnt lead in barrel
it manage magnumloads,
doesnt smoke
protecting you from lead exposore
easier to store than lubed bullets
Reciepe:
First you need:
Surgical gloves to protect you from lead and the bullets from you.
Good welders gloves or something to take out the plate with.
A Toaster owen, set at 180degrees celsius,
One Silicon baking sheet on the tray.
Powder is bought from
https://www.electrostaticmagic.co.uk/ I choose purple color since it been tried out by others and works well.
A dry plastic bucket with a tight lid. I use an old bucket used for laundry detergent
A bucket with water.
Bullet that are not handled by your hands, clean directly from the bullet mold, mine is casted this weekend.
Lee push through sizer
WD40
Towel
First you, take a tablespoon of powder and put it in your bucket and add bullets take about 50 at a time this is fewer just for presentation.
Close the lid and shake and rotate the bucket for a about a minute and check if the bullets are coated enough. (It doesent have to cover absolutely everything)
Then you can either pour the bullets on a mesh and sorting away the excess powder and then drop it on the plate, or you can stand the bullets up with a plier (it gives a little better visual result but its more timeconsuming picking one bullet at the time)
Then put the plate with the bullets in the owen at 180degrees celsius for 10-12minutes. ( I set the timer on my owen)
Freshly baked!
Then I just dump the bullets into the water, cooling them instantly and then pick them up and dry them on a towel.
Then next is sizing. I just add the pullet to a plastic container and then just spray a little wd40 on them and then I run them through a Leepush through sizer.
Bullets ready when the wd40 has dried out.
