Some candy 45-70's
Some more for the album. Smoke's signal blue:
This is more of Smoke's orange/brown and SD Copper mixed. I like this mixed color.
KE4GWE - - - - - - Colt 1860, it just feels right.
Today I had a little of Smoke's signal blue in the jar and put 3 scoops of zombie green (not Smoke's) in there with it and coated a few more trays. It made a nice mottled pattern.
Left to right zooms:

OK, I got some of Smoke 4320s' powder and it has been a lot of fun putting these colors together. Hopefully I don't get too carried away with this.
This was the beginning.
After the shake.
Powdered and lined up ready for the bake.
Fresh out of the oven.
Pretty happy with the results. I didn't get the yellow to stick as evenly as I maybe would have liked but they all have a great covering.
This is only my 3rd attempt at powder, but Smoke's powder and the nuwave oven make it easy!

Accurate Molds #35-125PZ
129 grains as cast
.358 diameter as cast
powder coated using the asbb tumble method
I think they came out fine
The dark splotches are not thin areas in the coating. The powder was a mix of mostly red from Eastwood and orange from Powder by the Pound. Some weird things happening, but the 2 colors did not like to mix. The surface is slick and does not flake off from the smash test.

Thank you. But Beagle's Beautiful Bullets (BBB) are the best. I bought the Harbor Freight gun and took the little deflector off the end.Originally Posted by sparky45

This are my .22 bator bullets coated with a antifriction coating for bolts. It works great.
And here are some more, .22 cal and some loaded 9mm rounds. Ready to go to the range.
This is my first attempt at PC. HF red
Couple more 45-70's. HF red + trade secret, lol. Sprayed with HF gun.
Same color. Lens too close?
Plus, gas checks are cheep. Anyways, a new mold as of yesterday.
360 200Gr. FN RG4 cavity GC (RCBS)
A couple of two-color examples, red is ASBB method and blue is bag-in-a-bowl method. Chili Pepper Red and Ocean Blue by TCI Powdercoatings, bought from a local powdercoating shop. Coated with main color, placed on baking sheet then sprinkled with black prior to baking...There's some crud in with the red ones, it's some black 'oversprinkle' which flaked off of the parchment paper. It cleans right up when run through the sizing die.

Lee 430-310 fully dressed weigh in at 315 grains...

I got a whole pie pan full of NOE 360627 HPs readied to go.
And after a spray and bake, here's a couple close-up.
