It wasn't that long ago people asked why powdercoat.. Alox and wax work just fine.

Anyone ever try this:
Mist the boolits with contact cement, or poly, or clearcoat, or hairspray. that way they have a slight bit of tack to them. Then tumble.

would it work?

I know the first...

I have family in Kennebunk... Popular family. What was your business, if you don't mind me asking?

Damn good man, spoke to him on the phone once. He will be missed.

Right here.

I would clay bar and polish first. Then Nu-finish. That'll bring out the shine.

Congrats daddy....

BTW, if you "knew what to do with your hands"... you wouldn't be in this situation..

I two coat harbor freight red all the time. (tumbled with bb's)

I remember someone selling a copper colored powder. Maybe smoke?

Go to the...

I have swaged an airsoft bb in the tip of a bullet

Reloaded both, usually not worth it. Plenty of 45 brass to go around.

Steel will work ok
Alum has to be converted to boxer. Will only last 1 maybe 2 firings.

I have made .30 cal from 5.7 brass successfully, but 5.7 brass isn't very plentiful.

Has anyone made jackets from something more common, ie. 9mm

What steps were involved.

I have a 6 ton press

What steps would you go through to make jackets for your .357/9mm

I have a 6 ton press.

I tried using a lee sizer, with a turned down push rod...
