So after several weeks of reading, I've decided, mostly due to cost and lack of funds, that I'm going the powder coat route. I just don't have 15 years worth of reloading or casting equipment and all the presses and dies. Reloading I've been doing for almost 10 years. Casting is new.
So because I lack the lube-sizers, dies and various wax or stick type lubes, here I am.
My questions are this-
What I have cast, about 4 to 500 125 gr (sized to) .358's, will be used in a 20" rifle.
I have 2 lbs of Harbor Freight Red.
Picked up the gun setup. Wasn't too impressed with how it was put together, read a few posts on various forums, drilled out an old mig welder tip, made a copper fan, all that.
Is there an advantage of either using the gun or plastic tub and paint thinner coating method?
Not looking to coat my garage floor with overspray or anything.
Also not doing what I would consider "bulk", it'll be what ever fits in a toaster oven.
I plan on keeping velocities around, or at least under 1200 f.p.s.
Are there multiple coats required, or is it a one-and-done process?
