If I did that my wife would say I had too much time and would add something to the Honey Do list.
I've been having a problem tumbling my cast bullets in pc to have an even covering. Do you just drop your powder in your tumbler with your cast bullets or do you put everything in a separate bag?
I use a ikea lock’n’lock style plastic container (cool whip and country crock containers work too) and shake with Plastic air soft bbs for 1-2 minutes than sift the BBs and excess powder in a little container sifter I made by drilling bb sized holes in the bottom of one so they fall into the other) than dump, stand up, and bake.
Powder used is also critical. I like Smokes Pc powder but not all brands/colors work as well. Smoke clear is my preferred followed by black. The JD Green and Carolina blue work great too but their a little fussier than clear of black I’ve found personally.

6.5 bullets shake and bake with cheap powder. I didn't wipe the bucket and there was trace of previous black PC in it. Interesting marble pattern.
Noe 145gr
Finally was able to coat 110 pounds of the MP 356- 130gr with smokes powder. With the 110 pounds of 9mm and the maybe 80 pounds of 30 cal, I still have plenty of powder to work with.

I just PCd my first run of our .402 group buy HP mold. It's raining here so I figured I wouldn't have that great of coverage. I even used old powder I had sitting it Tupperware wit air soft BBs. I used Smokes powder. First go was traffic purple with black and blue mixed in. I noticed the HP cavities didn't want to have PC stick to them today. I had a few bright specs of bare alloy showing as well. All colors I tried did the same but seemed to flow into the spots but not the HP cavities. Not to worried about the HP areas anyway. I then had some red, Green, and orange mixed from last year or longer. Made a nice brown. I ran out so I dumped some.orange in I had in a another Tupperware tumbling container.

My brother requested some zombie themed bullets for a 40sw. Tumbled in smoke's yellow green then sprinkled with a flame red that wouldn't tumble. He specifically requested "something obnoxious" and I think this works
Alright...done with PCing batch #2. I mixed Smokes traffic orange, bacon grease, and black for about half. Thought they would turn out more orange but I'm pleased with the outcome.

And wanted something different for the second half. I first mixed traffic yellow and bacon grease together. Tumbled and rolled in black afterwards in a separate Container. Didn't trip my trigger after baking so I used a Qtip with traffic orange and stuck it in the HP cavities and baked again. Gonna call it Firetiger...or T Rex color!!!
