    Quick BB Tumble PC - QA check.

    Howdy Team Powdercoaters,

    Just wanted to ask a quick question about my 2nd test batch of PC via BB tumbleing. I know why i have a few thin spots in my coat. I know how to fix it. What I'm wondering is if these thin/bare spots would result in leading if I were to use a bunch of these bullets.

    Any thoughts?

    Most of mine looks worst than those, and they shoot just fine, no leading to speak of.

    As long as they're sized a tad bigger than your barrel, send 'em...

    The coating is fine, it's more the size you have to worry about. My first time PCing boolits didn't turn out as good as yours.

    good news is as you continue to PC you will get a good feel for any that aren't good enough + you're skills will improve

    not that you need much if any improvement from looking at your picture
