I use an old Hornady tumbler I picked for $5 at a yard sale to powder coat. I don't use the airsoft BB's in it though. I just add powder and bullets and let it run for about 5 minutes a batch.

I only powder coat for handguns here and have been standing these up until recently. I am now just coating them in a #5 container with no BBs and dumping them into a couple of baskets to shake off...

Thanks - Herb
I have molds from Lyman, RCBS, Lee, NOE, MP, and Accurate. They all have been good molds but if I had to pick one make I would have to go with Accurate.
I had a package from Tom in my mailbox this morning. One of his 45-200H and one 35-125C. Have not tried the 125C yet but just finished a session with the 200H and it casts beautiful! This is the 4th...
