This is the method I use to powder coat my bullets.
I use food tupperware containers that I purchased from my local Dollar General.
I fill them this full of air soft BB's. I put a spent 38 special case next to it for comparison.
I then add half a tablespoon of powder coat to the BB"s. Try not to add too much powder coat at one time. After a couple batches of bullets the powder coat will take on a dingy/dirty look. So I try to keep it to where I am adding fresh powder every 2-3 batches.
I then add a handful of selected bullets to coat. These are 135gr pills for my 9mm, 38spl, 357mag.
Put the lids back on the containers and place them in my tumbler. I use a Lyman Turbo Pro 1200 tumbler.
Place top back on tumbler and tighten down. Turn on and let run for 5-10 minutes.
