    Thanks Beagle. I'll see what I can find on it. Don't have any older Lyman manuals but should be able to locate something. And still can't get my boolits that slick looking. We'll I'll keep trying.

    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.

    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
