I have been powder coating boolits (shake and bake) for a few years now, with limited success.
I ignored a lot of people here and bought some cheaper (not even HF) powder. Heck, I got TWO pounds for less than a pound from Smoke 4320. These powders worked ok sort of. If I shook the boolits in the plastic tub for about 15 minutes, baked them and repeated the process, I got enough coverage that most of the lead was covered and I had no leading in the barrel of several different guns I tried them in. A few weeks ago after several dismal attempts with what I had, I decided to buy a pound of powder from Smoke. I had picked out a red color, but in my order I mentioned any color was fine if he thought one worked better than the others. He ended up sending signal blue. In 10 seconds of shaking the tub I get better coverage than I ever did before. With a couple minutes of shaking I get nice even coverage that results in smooth, shiny good looking boolits.
If you are powder coating and having trouble getting satisfactory results try Smoke's powder
