I made another one. This works well also.

I had several hundred cast bullets that I had lubed and ready to go, that was until I started PC'ing. Not waiting to waste any good bullets, I boiled them in a cheap pot from the thrift store. I...

Warning from an expert....don't touch the end of the powder coating gun (electrode) while unit is energized...Shock hazard may occur and may cause cancer in California. There...we are covered now.

I have with ESPC method, works the same as normal PC

Welcome Craig

You've taken the first step to recovery, now comes therapy. Welcome to the club of "Compulsive Coaters".

I was trying to think of a way to coat my rifle bullets without coating the gas check area. I had made some .45acp shot-shell cartridges out of .308 brass, I cut 1.200" and used the bottom for the...

I have a hard time getting the purples to show up, but the iPad takes pretty good pics as long as the lighting is right.

With the clear, you can go naked or put a base for some extra zing. I'm an airbrush artist, so I like the option to base any color I want and than seal it with the clear.

Sorry BangerJim, no more...

SUPER DURABLE HIGH GLOSS CLEAR COAT - SUPER DURABLE POLYESTER TGIC on eBay. From seller POWDERCOATPAINTS, has good reviews and lots of colors, but I was curious about this clear.
I love the clear.

I thought about silver then decided to go with a durable slick clear. I still get the lead look and all the benefits of PC. Kinda glad about the clear....no fireballs. By the way, the clear is...

Derek to answer your question, I would not cast pure lead due to all the reasons listed. If you have a large amount of pure lead, cutting it to make it stronger and accurate should be not too hard....

Derek,

Pure lead has a BHN of 5 or less, you would want to be around 8 BHN 38/357. A mixture of 1:20 Tin/Lead has a BHN of 10 according to my SAECO chart.

The small one will work, but a convection one will do better (more even baking). Keep an eye on your temp, a lot of them vary on temps. The small ones just limit your number.

Those are my "I over did it" bullets. I recently got some "SUPER DURABLE HIGH GLOSS CLEAR COAT" polyester powder from eBay and I had some leftover metal flake from a job.....so gold metal flake with...

I just got some clear polyester powder coat in the mail yesterday, I coated some tonight and will test in a day or 2. I will post my results.

Here is the specs: SUPER DURABLE HIGH GLOSS CLEAR COAT...

I am seeing more and more colors showing up, so I thought that I would show my troops lined up.

StromBusa...I size mine .001/.0015 over my barrel dia (slugged), so it really depends on your barrel. I'd wait till you get it and start the right way. I also would recommend you season your barrel...

Just to give more info on accuracy, these are my 240gr .44mag that I made and tested for hunting this year. I casted, PC'd, sized the .001 over my barrel dia (I slugged with soft lead prior). I did...

It's has been awhile since I checked on here...wow 95 pages. Took forever to catch up. I have been PC'ing since the early threads and still is the best option for me. I slugged my barrel with soft...

GDS, welcome to the club...careful it's addictive.

With 3 pans with 100 CB on each pan, baking 15-18 mins @ 375 deg. I am making about 400 bullets an hour. I can actually put 2 pans in at once, if I was real energetic. As far as I am concerned, this...

Sbeatty1983....Friends helping friends! Check with a local powder coater, they will usually sell you a pound...and you won't have to pay shipping.

Here are a few of the new colors: olive drab, mirror black, mirror chrome. I have not loaded these yet, but will soon and test.

Here are a few I made for the wife. I added some smoke effects to the one pic.

I use a pan that I pre-drilled holes and inserted dis-assembled pop-rivets as a riser. The rivets must be smaller than the base of the bullet. After cooking, they just snap off. The secret is to NOT...
