Home Forums Reloading Bullet Casting Powder coating - couple of finesse questions

I use mesh drawer organizers form Bed Bath and Beyond...

I use to sift off excess powder and to bake in.

They are perfect for me as I also quench my bullets out of the oven and I toss the whole shootin match into the bucket!





This is a batch of CLEAR I like to keep a single layer, but don't worry about touching bullets.

I love PC boolets.

Thanks for the useful info. Been slowly working to get me some made. Though, I have no interest or time to cast boolets.

Went to an estate auction a few years back. Bought a sealed, plastic tote. Opened it and found 3000 Hornady .429 240 gr SWC.

Bought a 3 at sauce pan at Goodwill, filled with water and boiled on outside burner. Added 100 bullets and boiled for 10 minutes. Turned off burner and skimmed lubes from water.

Bullets look completely clean. Now, I need some powder.

Have an old toaster oven, that works. Picked up a fine mesh wire rack at Dollar store.

I hope this works.

Bought my first PC bullets from Eggleston. They were awesome. Eggleston was bought out and shut down.

Just got a batch from snscasting. Great service, price and quality.

You'll want to wash those in solvent (laquer thinner for example) to get the traces of wax off. Hot water or alcohol don't cut it well enough for the powder coating to stick correctly. Simple Green or Purple Power might get it done though.

Trying some mineral spirits on the first batch.
