Going to order a pound of the grass green and give it a go. Thanks for spreading the word!!


I can't really say if it's the color, or some other different characteristics of the different powders, but every color I've used acts a little differently. They all work, although some like the Harbor Freight stuff are pretty poor, but that particular green is the best I've tried. It coats nicely, with a slick finish, and doesn't pull too much coating off the bullets when breaking them apart.

Another tip - let the bullets cool completely before breaking them apart; if you do it when they're warm, it leaves larger bare spots on one of the bullets.
