Yes. Look at post 21 and 38 of the pic thread. El34 coated some and even started a couple of threads about it.
KE4GWE - - - - - - Colt 1860, it just feels right.
If you full length size I doubt that you would have a problem. especially of you electrostatic spray. With that method you will only increase the diameter about .001 plus. I coated some sierra 30 caliber Spire points just for giggles, they miked out at .3085.
I did it to some .41 Magnum brass. Didn't turn out well at all. Using the static method.
Leave some cases out in the grass in the weather for a month...you'll have some beautiful dark brown cases, they'll clean and shine up just fine...shiny brown, I kinda like those too.

Did you prep the Brass at all degreaser and such?Originally Posted by DxieLandMan
in what way did they not turn out well coverage or not sticking?
did you try and chamber one just to see and if so did it just scrap of the PC?
I am fine with the brass look myself but I just wondered if its viable or not as I would use it to identify certain loads mind you I will be doing that anyways with PC boolits was just looking at another option is all and maybe cool factor as well...
I put the cases in with the cast boolits. Coverage was ok and most of them seated. The cases were not covered all the way and looked like a mess so I didn't do it again. The powder did not stick all the way the whole cartridge. Just a little here, a little there. I did it for roughly 12 cases. About 3 of them turned out ok. The rest, nope.
