Powder coated bullets pics only

[slide]

I think it is BB dry tumble. Some put those plastic bb's in with their powder and bullets. I don't use them but some swear by them.

[Gamsek]

so did you dry tumble those?
what velocity you pushing the 311 's?
Accuracy?
im concernd mine are not smooth enough trying for .002 gain in diameter , then sized to .314 to push 2200+

1. Dry tumble



Velocity 1050 to 1275fps.
Accuracy- excellent
Yours seams have to thick coating

Yeah probably so I'm shooting for 2200 ft per second was wanting a slicker looking finish so it'd be aerodynamic I guess. Yes those were dry tumble PC with the bb's

Try shaking a little more to remove excess powder.

Some colour mixes using non-TGIC -powders.

Mixed Smokes traffic white with some traffic orange. Then did some with traffic white and flame red. It's a fun way to kill some time in this crappy weather.

I tried some of Smoke's powders, Carolina Blue for the first batch.

I smashed one of them to make sure it worked well.

Just did ten at first, to make sure I had everything right and working.

Not bad, a few small spots where I guess I didn't quite coat it enough. Next one will be better I'm sure.

My first batch of powder coated boolits. 158 grain Lee plain base cast of 100% COWW and black BB's. Smoke's John Deere Green. The coat looks kinda thin. May have to shake them some more next time. Tried the hammer test on the vise anvil and no flaking. Bought an oven thermometer to test Wal Mart toaster oven. It had to be set at about 330 deg. F to get 400. preheated oven five minutes. Baked for 25 min. because I was unsure if the oven was up to temp. Comments?

Load and shoot some. Let the target do the talking.

Just finished second batch. Shook them in JD Green about twice as long as the first batch. Looks like a nicer, thicker coating of powder. Put them in the oven and this time included my Taylor oven thermometer. It took a full twenty minutes to get the preheated oven up to 375 degrees F. I started timing then and turned oven off at 20 minutes. By then the temp was just below 400 F. They are cooling now. When my camera battery is charged I'll get a pic. I ordered a better camera with macro lens. But for this I'll just have to continue with Olympus pocket cam.

Shake n Bake, 1 tablespoon of gloss clear to 1/4 (+/-) teaspoon of gloss black. Nothing exotic. I think I need a few more sample color packs from smoke4320 so I can color code my bullets without inviting too many conversation/s at the range.

I really like that clear with the little bit of black.... Im gonna have to purchase some from Smoke.

I did some powder coating a couple days ago when it wasnt raining and the humidity wasnt 100%
I think they turned out pretty good.

A big batch of 310's for the 300 Savage... I dont remember the mold but I borrowed it from Conditor22

Shoot the rainbow - Farm Green, Signal Yellow, Hemi Orange, Oxblood and Gentian Blue

And some for my brothers 357 Mag (Saeco 382)


Gentian Blue and Flame Red

A batch of 405gr waiting to go into the oven

Looking good doc, did you coat this in your tumbler or ASBBDT?

[joe leadslinger]

It was raining yesterday so off to the garage to coat these Lee 225-55-RF

Jyst heated them up to 140 in the little toaster oven 50 at a time and dropped them into 2 small teaspoons of powder and swirled for as long as I could...

Then I pulled them out with nitrite gloves and twirled them in my fingers until they were coated all over. Put them on the cookie sheet to bake for 20 and they came out like glass.. Looks like I sprayed them.
