.....Now for something completely different..........
Well, for you guys that want to have copper slugs, you can take a standard ES PC'd boolits coated with HF matte black, bake them as usual at 400F for 10 minutes, take them out when they cool to 250, spray with VHT Burnt Copper Hi temp paint, and then rebake at 250 for 20 minutes.
Makes some really nice copper-look slugs.

The matte black allows the paint to really stick. With the PC as a base, you still have all the protection. These have cooled and have been sized with NO loss of coating. I doubt the copper does anything, but is makes things interesting! And I doubt it will stick to any of the gloss PC either. Just another reason to use HF matte balck for everything and save your money and not buy those expensive powers by the pound!
These are 230g RN TL boolits for my 45 long colts.
And, no......................I do NOT coat the bottoms of my sub-sonic, so don't even ask!
