Smoke's Clear PC

[Hickok]

For those of you who haven't tried it, Smoke's clear PC makes a beautiful looking, nice and shiny, silver boolit. Just like any werewolf hunter would appreciate!.....:wink:

A kind member sent me some to try a while back.

Goes on great, shake and bake, looks like a sugar coating, and then bakes to a smooth, glossy coating.

I like the differing colors, but this clear is really smooth and shiney. You really have to see it, to appreciate it.

Good to know I will have to order some of that.

Clear powder coat is a great goodness.

I've had a sample bag of that for a long time. The pretty colors got used first.
I did about 500 Lee 358-125-rf a couple days ago with smoke's clear.

My new favorite.

I don't think you can find a more even coating...

I don't think you can find a more even coating...OS OK, that is my findings also. Super smooth and your boolits look like you got them off the Lone Ranger!

I wiped my boolits off with a terry cloth rag until they looked like chrome, then pc'ed. Beautiful! And they will stay looking sparkly, no oxidation.

I have said many times the clear is a great color , easy to coat, smooth shiny finish and coats more bullets than any other color per LB

PS thanks for the kind words

By FAR the best powder for the "Shake and Bake" is clear powder. You can get a very nice semi-transparent coat by adding a pinch of your favorite color. Gp

Two years back I tried mixing color with clear gloss...but...I don't think this PC was all the same brand...the results weren't so great, different but not so great...I'm sold on clear gloss, it covers the best from shake through bake rain or shine...

Looking like powdered sugar before being baked contrasts nicely with the lead making the clear easiest to judge how even the pre-baked coating is. Sort of like going to the bakery and noticing the donut showing through the sugar coating. I like mine to look sort of grey as the boolit shows through the white. And I suspect with no pigments to carry with it as it evens itself out during baking makes for the most even coating.

I sorta think of them as little sugar coated lemon drops...no doubt about the coverage though...
they coat so well that you have to tap them on the pan to knock off all the excess PC...

[Beagle333]

Okay, I'm a huge fan of the colors, but you guys have got me wanting to try the clear. Order comin' at ya, Smoke!!!

From Smoke4320 above post no. 7...he's the local vendor for PC.

[retrobass]

Got 2 pounds from Smoke recently and I think this is what I'll use to coat all bullets from now on. I ran some through my KKM G17 today and whacked 8" plates at 50 yards consistently as long as I did my part. I can't help but thinking that a more even coating means a slightly more accurate boolit.

[LakeviewBulldog]

Agree, my favorite as well. They just seem to be slicker than any other color of powders. Plus the clear are good at avoiding the questioning glances from some of the more conservative shooters if that is a concern.

[Hickok]

Fast becoming my favorite. When mine sample is gone, I will order more from Smoke.

Makes the purtiest "werewolf boolit" ever!:castmine:

[Hickok]

These are my boolits for my Rem. 700 .308 and Ruger Hawkeye Compact 7.63 x 39 with Smoke's clear. Coww base and lead tip.

Good for werewolves, Squatch, Zombies, any and all freaks of nature. Also work great on deer.:bigsmyl2:

All,

I ordered some of the "clear" because of this thread.

Thanks for sharing.

[KenH]

I like Smoke's clear - it's really the only thing I've used much of, the bullets still look like "bullets" when finished. I started with HF red (so so, not great) and like the clear much better

[daloper]

I am also a fan of the clear. Can you tell?197997

[psweigle]

Smokes clear and carolina blue are my favorites.

[ghh3rd]

Since this is a nice short thread, so far, maybe I can slip in a quick question. Do you all stand up each boolit before baking?

Yes my OCD will not let me dump and bake.

[TXCOONDOG]

Yes my OCD will not let me dump and bake.

Pistol only or do you a system to stand long narrow rifle boolits ?

PS: FYI- You're not OCD as you put the clear coated boolits on previosly used baking wax paper......lol I have a special needs child that is OCD among other things and if he would have seen that, the world is going to end in his mind.

[Hickok]

Ghh, I stand all my boolits up. Sometimes with the long Scud-missile .30 caliber boolits, one will fall and the domino effect comes into play.

Sometimes I place them in 3/8" nuts, sometimes not.

[Smk SHoe]

I try to PC pistol and rifle bullets at the same time. A row or two of pistol ( short and fat) then a row or two of rifle ( tall and skinny @#*'s). that way when they fall it doesn't take out the whole tray.
