Fastest, Easiest, Cheapest Bullet Powder Coating 

The bullets need to come to cure temp (400) before you start the timing for 20 minutes (for a good full cure of the powder. Yes I have been a powder coater for 20 years.

Finally ! Someone who gets to the point and keeps it simple , but still explains all the necessary information. Thank you .

Talk about a no bullshit video! Thank you! Spread the word to other RU-vidrs!

This is the BEST video of many-many I have watched

Great video! Short and to the point. Nicely done!!!

Awesome video! Direct, to the point and exactly the info that I needed. Thank you! 👍

Great video, short and to the point. Thanks for some good information.

Good info. Tks. I learned the hard way about heating up the bullets too much before the paint. On a bunch of .32 cal buck shot pellets.

I use my oven for toast also. Makes such pretty colors!!

EXCELLENT video young man!!!! One of the better videos out there. Keeping it simple. Less is more! Thank you for sharing!

Great job , you’ve made it clear and simple. I thought I needed the plastic bb’s but I will proceed without them. Thank you for this video sir!

Well set-up. One of most effective and efficient I've seen.

I miss casting, powdercoating, loading and shooting. Hopefully someday I will have time to do things like that again, Very nice video!

Outstanding!! Great information & presentation! Very informative THANKS

Great video thanks for sharing it.

I just dump them in a cardboard box and shake them around while they're still hot. I can't remember who I learned that trick from, but it works great for separating any that are stuck together.

Sharing is caring. Thanks for the video.

Love keeping things simple, life is already complicated enough!

Great video and great information

Almost looks too ez😉. Going to give it try this weekend for my 1st time at PCing. Nice video.

Thanks for the tips.

First off you taught this old dog a new trick. I was using the acetone method for years I watched this video and others online. I kept coming back to this one. Your method is clearly the fastest but is not as fast as it can be lol. On your "First Press Single or Progressive???" video somebody asked about doing it wet and cleanliness. Well today I learned even though I need to learn how to deal with the dust from the powder and the mess. Your method is is faster and it appears to me on my first attempt a better quality coating. What I mean is the coating is smoother and more evenly applied and that should help me with my cast loads at distance. I use coatings from "powder by the pound" They are 400 degree 10 minute coatings. When I was doing them wet it took three times through the oven your method took 1 trip through the oven. You got me to up my game thanks. Now about your slow method lol. My grate thingy fits in my oven so no need to spend time buying and using tin foil. Thanks for the video.

Gotta try this. Will save me a ton of time compared to standing up each bullet!

Good video. Very useful.

There’s another reloader/bullet caster who powder coats. He preheats his cast bullets to 140 degrees for 4 minutes, Dino’s them into his bucket/tub of powder coat swirls them around 3-4 times, dumps them on a pieces of tight woven chicken wire, pops them in the toaster over for the instructed time, and he said it works flawlessly. It’s ElvisAmmo is the RU-vid I seen do that method. He said it helps to heat them to 140 for that 4 minutes and causes almost instant adhesion of the powder coat and makes it way easier! I’ve yet to try any of these things yet as I’m just entering the hobby of casting. I’ve bought everything EXCEPT the powder coat!! Thank you for posting your knowledge to help the beginners like me!! Truly appreciate you tubers like you and Elvis Ammo!!

Good work and very nice video 👍😎

Parchment paper works better than the foil, when done in over I just dump directly into a bucket of water

I have to use acetone because of the high humidity where i live.

Well done.. to the point.

Yeah the first time I powder coated I warmed the bullets too long and ended up with a big ball of crap. Now I follow Elvis amo method 140deg for 4 minutes. Sure is nice when others share their methods with us.

I will have to try that non stick aluminum foil again. I did it once and it was a disaste but maybe I used the wrong side. It's possible. I use silicon mat now and hit it with a little shot of silicone spray and that works real well.

Nice

Great vid man, subscribed at once.

OK, been shooting and reloading for a long time have not reloaded in a year to two. Besides the aesthetics why do I want to power coat my bullets ? What benefits is there ? Also, what harm if any will it cause to my barrel immediately or over time, like a build up of power coat ? Even if you do not see an power coat in the barrel with cleaning could there be microscopic build up ? Will it affect accuracy ? Years ago we molly coated bullets and even barrels. Thanks I have watched several other bullet power coat videos. Yours is the easiest and best way I’ve seen and makes the most sense. Again, thank you. Ricky from IBM, Ret

Good Video!!

Good video and was helpful for me, I have been powder coating for a few months now and I enjoy it now. The reason I say now is because the first time I used parchment paper from the Dollar Store. I sit my bullets on their base and bake them for 20 mins @400 degrees, every one stuck to the paper. I had to soak them in water and then scrap the paper off the base of all 288 of them. That paper said it was rated to 400 degrees, big fail. I bought Glad parchment paper that says it's rated to 450 degrees and I have not have 1 bullet stick the the paper out over 900 bullets. I have used the same sheet of paper up to 4 times and still no sticking. I did try the Reynolds non stick foil but still had a few stick to the foil. I bought #5 plastic containers at the Dollar store and they work really good, I have one for each color. I'm retired so I have the time to cast my bullets and powder coat them, it's a hobby that doesn't require a lot of money to get started. $20 for a toaster oven from Walmart and the paint. I use the Lee sizing dies.

Loved the video. It inspired me to try this as I’ve wanted to try powder coat for some time. This weekend I finally did it! But I’m having issues with the bullets sticking together. They are definitely not on top of each other when in the oven. But even so when I take them out the are stuck. Just bumping them around with a knife isn’t enough to separate. I have to push the knife hard between the 2 bullets to pop them apart. Then there is a small section of exposed lead. Any suggestions? Btw. Using the same brand powder.

I always water quench my powder coated bullets to increase the BHN.

Hi been watching your video and found some very useful stuff 👍 do you sell these powder coated ammo? I would love to buy some look so cool👍

Get a big flat piece of aluminum to set your bullets on. Aluminum pulls the heat out pretty fast.

Looks great I’m getting ready to try this… Where do you find your powder coat powder? Do you have a favorite brand?

I just found ur channel but u should do a vid on casting ur lead if u haven't already or like the whole process

Please explain to me, why do you powder coat bullets? Is this to prevent bullet residue from getting stuck in the barrel? And the bullets you powder coated, where they just normal lead casts? Thanks.

Hey man great video. A question I have had a difficult time finding an answer too is does it matter that on the side the bullets were touching the foil has some spots of bare lead. Will this cause leading?

Aluminum plate to desperate heat better,non stick foil & number 5 plastic great advice thanks 👍

Well done..! What color are you using? Thanks for the video...

what brand powder coating do you use?. BTW, Great video, Thank you

I have a few questions. What gun do you shoot these out of, How do these compare to ordering coated bullets online, What is the cost effectiveness of doing this. Last does the sizing die pull the coating back off

Hi, i have a question about your video. I practice cowboy action shooting with low load charge in cartridges. so i wonder if we can use pure lead with powder coating for guns, or we have to use lead more hard? Thanks for your answer.

In your opinion, it's better powder coating or traditional lubing? Thanks for the video.

Can I use a #5 plastic container for any small metal pieces or is it only effective for powder coating bullets ? I never knew you can create an electrostatic charge without spraying from a gun

Do you think a non-stick tray would work as good as the non-stick aluminum foil?

thank you sharing... How much smoke do they put out??? once coated

For powder coating a mass number of cast bullets I wonder would a plastic concrete mixer work and a house oven to cure them with.

do you coat or would you coat bullets purchased on line ? Just ordered some to reload 38 spec and 357 mag. Thanks !

Water quenching the bullets makes them harder. If you are making your own from lead. Then powder coat them

I have aluminum plate to dissipate heat.

How much Powder Coat residue gets built up on the inside of the Barrel Per X amount of shots?? How difficult is it to remove & clean that residue out of the Barrel & Rifling afterwards?? Thanks for the Info!?? 💪💪👊🇺🇲🇺🇲

I usaelly dump mine in bucket of water to cool

What about a rotating tank the time the bullets cool down ?

I bake mine 1000+ at a time in a fryer basket and drop them in a deep bucket of water straight out. Very few stick and they get a bit of hardening in the bargain.

Do they have copper colored paint? It would be great if they looked and acted like real bullets.

You size after powder coating. Does the sizing not remove the powder coating?

Do you have to lube the PC bullets before using them into the sizing die or just size them without lube?

Ah, just like mom used to make......

Seen some videos that the person uses acetone with powder. Does it help? Obviously you didn’t and it worked.

Why powder coat the bullets? Is this a thing to help keep your weapon cleaner?

Will they stick to those teflon non stick baking sheets ?

Do you ever dunk em in a 5 gallon bucket of water after they come out of the oven?

Can I shoot this on a Glock barrel without lead buildup?

Wondering if anyone has done this with a brass bullet. Trying to upside a 308 bullet to an ak bullet

can you powder coat factory jacketed ammo? or only lead cast?

Do you need to WAX libe, if you powder coat?

What’s the point of doing this? Novice here, is it to prevent rust?

Do you size before or after the heating?

I didn't have the non stick so tried regular and the bullets stuck. I will get the non stick.

one question . while i shake my bullets for powder coating . powder does not stick to the bullets completely . what could be the reason ?

Where do you get the coating from?

But the powder is a normal epoxy one ?

Who makes the best powder

Where can I find this powder?

I bought the cheapest oven i could get and it keeps nelting my bullets no matter how low i set it😂 pretty sure the temp control knob is just for looks at this point

Cold water quenching once out of the oven..

One question I have that my father raised when I mentioned this method. How do you keep the powder coat even on the bullets? Wouldn't it be lopsided having them cure and cool on the tray like that? Ans how do bullets like this shoot compared to factory made projectiles?

Why powder coat the bullets in the first place?

why would u paint a bullet?

Why pc them

20 minutes later…uses same knife to peel an apple. 😱

20 minutes later…uses same knife to peel an apple.

BB’s are an absolute waste of time

Mask up because powder coating is micro-plastic. Clean up your work area.

would have liked to have seen a close up of the end product

Do certain colors or brands of powder work better than others?
