Those were sprayed. I can't tumble them that slick.
Here is a mold table, if you don't have one.

These folks will reprint older lyman manuals for you. I just bought a copy of this one from the Swappin and Sellin forum this weekend, but I haven't gotten it yet, so I can't really recommend it yet.

When I baked my cookies last night, I didn't start the actual timer until they started to look bright and Shiney but the PC hadn't started to "run" yet. Is that how y'all are doing it as well? I have the part down about having enough powder but still can't get a slick, shiney coat.
I bought the Lyman old manual from Cornell's and highly recommend them!
As BangerJ said, you gotta hold your mouth right when using the DT method. I was afraid it would stick that way so I bought the electrostatic set up. They do a much better job of coating. For a quick batch of handgun boolits I still ASBBDT, much easier for just a few and I don't think a little orange peel hurts anything when coating for a handgun. I use more powder than most do when DTing, just what works for me. Enjoy the day all. GP
