What the coating should look like
Many new folks getting into coating wonder if they have the coating down right. Here is a batch of 45cal 230gn TL boolits I did this morning.
Everything is done in a #5 coolwhip container and with black ASBB's:
Here is what they look like after about 1 minute of fast swirling and then 30 seconds of rapid up and down shaking (very important):

Pick up with hemostats and put on NSAF to bake for 10 min at 400F in a convection oven.

Since I am getting tired of red everything (!), and these look like little lipstick tubes in 45LC cases, I mixed HF red and yellow 50/50. They do not mix as much as the blend and give a mottled orange-red effect. Still a perfect hard coating!
Simple and easy. There are 120 boolits there done in only 2 swirls! Note I only use enough BB's to cover the bottom of the bowl.
