Hello, new to all this but I’m looking to start casting some bullets and have some questions. Where are y’all getting your supplies and do you have to size the bullet smaller to use the powder coating? Thanks
I’ve only done a little and by all means not an authority, so take my comments as such.
Cast normal size for your application, powder coat and size! I bought my powders from Powder by the Pound! Eastwood is reputed to have good powders! I used the “shake and bake” method of coating, and most experienced in the art suggest a #5 (type of plastic, label is located on the bottom of the container) plastic container (I used a large sour cream container) for better creation of static electricity……some also use black air soft plastic pellets to enhance the static charge! I think that the polymer type powders are the best!
High humidity is you “ENEMY” to good static charge, everything must be very dry, including the air…..for best results!
The CastBoolit forum (yes Boolit) is an in valuable source of knowledge for everything reflated to bullet casting/shooting! memtb
