Quality powder coated bullets, not quantity. 

You need to rest the tray on the rack for the toaster over and walk slowly with it to keep them from falling over. Straighten a few up, but they work great for smaller caliber rifle bullets up to 30 caliber at least.

I have not got clear yet and I am a member on cast boolets. I got some purple eastwood I wanted to use on this and it would not coat just like it was too humid. Wonder if they packaged it too humid?

@@RobGoebel I would assume so. The easiest powder coating I’ve found so far is Smoke’s clear. I have had to shake just an out all the colors accept for traffic blue like a mad man to get an even coat. I couple swirls with clear and it’s perfectly coated. The color flakes are what makes them look unevenly coated but there is clear mixed in with colors usually so the boolits are coated but don’t look pretty. I’ve mixed a bunch of colors together. Boolits get evenly covered for some reason with mixes for me.

You'll be reminded of that mistake for ten years or more. The things I've done that seemed simple enough, but made one hell of a mess in the house.

Must be flat noses bullets as I couldn't stand spire point rifle rounds like that. Maybe HP's like this video. I try to minimize contact as some that touch the side of the trays get culled unless the sizer mashes it down. You about need your own video to explain all that you just wrote. :)

@@RobGoebel Yes, I figured it would be slightly more difficult to understand reading it when I could show you in 25 seconds. LOL. But, I haven’t ventured into making videos, just binge watching them.

Yes, they are tweezers. Just the wrong word rattling in my head while thinking of other things. 😀

Can size tip down for he same effect.

This works great for me and I am not bothering with a spray gun. Yes it might be better, but this way is just fine, quality wise. I never great success with non stick aluminum foil and always have had powder coat stick to it, but nothing sticks to parchment paper.

guys say they are good, but parchment paper is easy, cheap and disposable! Use the same piece several time sin one day and in the trash or fire pit. Humidity under 40% for dry shake and bake or use the wet method with acetone.

No, because bullets are cast at .359 and too think already, then powder coated and then sized down to .356 to be loaded.

My wife buys from Maryland my Maryland shirts to clean me up for going out. Are you a Maryland Shooters guy? I keep suggesting moving across the river into Free America, but she's not into it right now.

@@RobGoebel I am not, but I love the song! By “over the river,” I hope you mean WV, not VA. The commonwealth, like MD, has fallen from her proud past!

@@j.p.saverance8972 I do, Northern VA is destroying all of VA.

Roger, you be you then.

Watch this video and skip to 4:00 to see expansion of the 7 - 8 bhn bullets. They expand great and fly good. Pure lead expands better but of course after 10 yards. Wheel weights shoots great, but don't expand the best. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SW1kIIeCBpU.html

This was testing the pure lead and wheel weights. Jump to 6:00 to see expansion testing for lead and WW hollow point and Round nose that doesn't expand at all!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jRrNTzfwmAo.html

@@RobGoebel Many Thanks

Thanks again for the splendid info and detailed results for coating on paper of in the tray. I had terrible luck with parchment paper sticking to the bottom of bullets, as did my aluminum foil. I graduated to a Silicone Cookie Sheet, cut to fit my oven pan, stand up with needle nose and have great results. After deciding I'm in a bit more of a hurry for standing the bullets, I stood them in Silicone Gummy Trays pruchased on Amazon. They can't tip and come out 100%, like yours. After casting and coating bullets, I would not return to use of my prior X-Treme or Berry's copper bullets. I chronograph nearly every initial loading and compare to my multiple manuals. I find that the coated bullets with identical powder charge, overal length, primers and case are an average of 28fps-65fps faster than the jacketed, with less recoil. This allows me to back off on my powder charge about 1gr-3gr to acheive the identical load and velocity as the copper jacketed loads. This to me is proof of less friction, meaning my barrels will last longer. Upon cleaning the weapons after firing seasions, I find only carbon deposits from the powder. Against the will of others, I use my 5 lb can of IMR 700X powder for all .380/38 spcl./9mm/44 mag/ 45acp target loads, with assorted bullet weights. Cases are very clean, pistol has very small amount of deposits. My 9mm-124g4-130gr with 3.7gr-3.8gr run about 1168 fps, the 38 spcls with 160 gr @ 895 fps, 45 acp with 4.8gr, 200-225gr bullets @ 850-885fps. For me, thesee cast/coated bullets far surpass the accuracy of my jacketed ones. I also find Eastwood and Sherwin Williams powders to be my best for a single coat, although variations between certain colors compared to the Ford Light Blue, and mix with Sherwin Williams Red for purple on 9mms.

Thanks Rob. I belive, by experience with Glock that if you choose to replace that octaganol barrel with a Lone Wolf your grouping and possibly expansion results will change radically. A friend and range partnet of mine has many different calibers in Glock, allowing us to have shot paper, water jugs and chronographed the comparisons between the factory octagonal barrel and Lone Wolf units. Shooting lead from a OEM Glock barrel could have you developing a complex, if not changed-LOL. The sole modls for H/P bulllet casting today are quite pricey, compared to all of my Lee modl collection, making me curious if it warrants the spending of my retired person budget. I will take quality over quantity any day, all the time. Your videos are appreciated.

Wow, one question at a time! What every you read about shake and bake, powder coating remember under40% humidity to get it to stick! I've read a lot of BS online and found this to be true. The one die that sizes the case and knocks out the primer expands the case so it can handle having the bullet inserted. It should flair the mouth enough for cast bullets. If not, you can get the Lee universal expanding die to do it.

I size everything. I cast the 9mm hollow points at .359 and then powder coat them making them thicker. Then size them to .356 with the lee sizer. The only trouble I had sizing was not shaking off bullets and double coating them before doing the stand up method. The coat was too thick and sizing tore up the sides. Yes, this video was in response to the "throwing them on the tray" style. I find they work, they just look like She-I-it and nothing I want attached to my work.

I gas check all rifle round and none on pistols.
