We're getting a jump on the Easter Bunny with these rainbow powder coated .45s.
They may be a little cheesy but hey, "Everything's better when it sits on a Ritz!"

Three pounds of powder is good for starters. With that you'll be able to coat only about a bazillion boolits. Welcome to the club. Remember to post some snaps of your beauties.

OS OK, thanks for your very much appreciated support. Boy howdy, did the forum trolls "body-slam me to the mat" on this one. For years I've been following the Lee Precision written smoke-n-lube...

Thanks for your great boolit powder coating suggestion. This past weekend we decided to give it a try. Into the dryer we first threw in some of our favorite Smoke's powders. Next...

Welcome aboard the PC express. Sounds like you're starting out on the same track most of us have with HF powders. Just a note to the wise. When we're just starting out we would like to shorten the...

We weren't sure we would take to PCing at first so we bought the least expensive, new toaster oven we could fine. The Proctor Silex Model 31118R was less than thirty bucks out the door. It holds only...

Yup, I know what you mean. That's why we've ended up with soo much olive-drab powder coating. We call these our "little army men" boolits.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
The powder doesn't stick to the paper. Simply wiping the bowls with a paper towel between colors will avoid "color cross contamination." Note: Mixing well, 1 part black to 2 or 3 parts red will...

Yeah, oh that ol' mule snot. I had five boxes of .45 auto rims covered with the gunk that I "vise grip" pulled, re-topped and re-purposed. But 40 lbs! Dang! You've been a busy lil' cowboy, good for...

You're right about those .45 slugs being rough on the paper bowls. After tumbling a little more than 500, 230 grainers I had to punch out a new bowl. I saw that Dutchninja uses a plastic straining...
