Ok,so my boolits look great how they fall from the mold.I am water quenching them, then powder coating. However after powder coating the gas checks are hard to get on(square up and fully seat).If i don't powder coat they go on easy peezy. So then comes the question should I powder coat after checks are installed?or powder coat then case lube with 1 part lanolin oil 9 parts alcohol befor installing gas checks?I'd like to have checked pc'd boolits when i'm all done.

Install gas check, powder coat and then final size. That's my process.

I take my Boolits and set them in a Washer that the hole fits the GC groove.
Then I ESPC (spray) the Boolits with my HF powder coat gun.
The powder coat does not get on the base of the Boolits.
I bake the Boolits standing in the washers
So then it is easy to install and crimp the GC like it is a bare Boolits.
If I Dry Tumble the PC on the Boolits with GC's , I install the GC's first
