    28 pound bulk batch

    28.8 pounds or more than 1700 of the 130 grain lee 356/125.
    that's the lee 420 pot drained 2 times.
    this is the biggest single batch i have done. i should have done it in 2 batches.
    the oven rack was sagging.
    i might try with one color next time. came out a bit grainy.
    in the close up pic they are still wet from ice bath.
    this should be enough to get the bottom of my 5 gallon bucket of 9mm brass.

    I am not trying to be a smart ***. I am complety new to the powdercoating. Will all those slugs not leave inperfections all over them in a basket like that?

    my basket is covered in cooked on powder coat.
    i don't know if this helps with not getting basket lines or not.
    i dont have any lines on these, see close up pic on right. but the mixed powder (reddish) is some what clumped
    in some areas. a single color high gloss looks best but would probably would give basket lines.
    there are a lot of you tube and other videos on doing this, elvis ammo and fortunecookie45lc
    are some of the best, watch a bunch.
    some here will say they will only stand them up. or only spray them. thats fine, that works probably best.
    what ever makes you happy.
    im happy doing it my way.

    is the podwercoat so they don't oxidize?

    Powdercoat prevents barrel leading and it will also prevent oxidizing. Lot less messy than wax lubes.
    Boolits !!!!! Does that mean what I think it do? It do!
