Remove my name. Sorry, but I will not spend another dime, or another minute on this site, currently run by facebook fact checker wannabes.
This used to be a great place.
A damned shame.

I don't see no pictures.....

Could you add handles please?

Dude, first you reply, saying to make sure it is clean water I am using to drop boolits in, then rant on about my water NOT actually being clean....?
Even after I point out I simply wasn't using...

Umm, dude, if it is contaminated, then it isn't clean is it?

Yes, they are quite useable I think, but not uniformly coated. I will try again tomorrow to get a better coat using more powder. I read time after time 'just a couple of tablespoons of pc', but never...

The directions on the bag itself say to run at 450 UNTIL there is good flow, then reduce to 400 for 20 minutes.

There is no contamination risk in clean water.

Plenty of balls. Too many boolits and not enough powder seems to be the culprit. Will find out Sunday.

Humidity is not the issue here.

From the package itself:
Preheat oven to 450.
Place PC items in oven and when flowed out, reduce to 400 for 20 minutes.

When I cast the boolits I dropped them in a clean 5 gallon bucket of water. Not to harden them to any degree, simply because they don't get dented that way when I cast a few hundred at a time. There...

No, it isn't flaking off.

Better picture but boolits still not so pretty.

Not very pretty..

My exact procedure:
Boolits are not oxidized or contaminated. Look like I just cast them today. Water quenched and dried, placed in a sealed container.
Added plastic bb's, and also some Styrofoam...

Coated much better this time. Maybe I simply didn't add enough powder the first time for 200 310 gr 44's.
We shall see. I also put the first ones back in for a second coat. They are useless...

I could take a pic, but it would just show what I have stated. Not enough powder sticking to the boolits.
Tumbler is well coated though.
Boolits have been in a sealed container ever since I cast...

Also what pc is on the boolits is cured, just not nearly enough powder adhered to the boolits to begin with.
Going to tumble them a second time and see what happens.

I bought the white bbs and tumbled them for 15 minutes.

Yeah, mine don't look anything like that......

First batch kinda sucked. Baked them anyway to see the results.
Yup, they still suck. Splotchy, minimal coverage.
Added some Styrofoam strips, tumbled more boolits, doesn't appear to have improved...

I put it off and finally bought some plastic airgun pellets and some eastwood powder mirror blue powder.
Correct me if I am wrong here, as I notice there are multiple methods being used, but this is...

Well, between a couple of helpful people on here and a lot of searching online I have acquired enough components to load up a couple hundred rounds of ammo this weekend!
Thanks guys!

SO... 'no need to reinvent the wheel', yet your best gunsmith isn't even listed? Nor is any but one I know of in my area. Most are listed twice, none have any ratings and almost none have any...
