Hmmm... you powder coated right over the gas check too. Does that work okay ?
I've been thinking of PC, just haven't done anything yet.
I color code my loads also. Those are good looking bullets.
I'm a Happy Clinger.
I've been looking at the powder coating also...
Is there a Utube or some such video on how to do it? I have no idea on the process at all...
And, what is the advantage of the end product?...
Thanks...BCB
I use PC to indicate either alloy or weight change.
Guys:
Scroll down to the "Coatings and Alternatives" section.
Everything you always wanted to know about powder coating
is right here on our castboolits site, including the best powder vendor, Smoke 4320.
Go for it !
I'll wait 'till they come out with clear coat.
Don't want no one thinking I'm loading my gun with jelly beans. LOL

Mal Paso means Bad Pass, just so you know.
MP Lots of clear and semi-clear powder available. It's my favorite and seems to give me the best over-all results. Gp
Yes. If you have a nice fitting GC, then seating checks before powder coating is the way to go. Otherwise, PC will add diameter and the GC will no longer fit. My process is to seat checks with an NOE sizer, coat, then size again. The PC doesn't adhere as well to the Gator Checks that I use, but find that to not be a problem whatsoever. This works for me, but many of you have far more experience with gas checks than I do.
check out Elvis ammo on YouTube. he has lots of video's on powdercoating bullets.
