Loaded up some .45s on the tray today. Having the nuts JB-Welded to the pan really does help. And I took the tip off the gun, it seems to really make it spray a tighter pattern and also lets it flow better and I didn't have any loose powder dropping out of the tube as I shifted and tapped the paint cup while spraying. I think that it works better without that little part. :-)
Wind here today is not friendly though. I built a little spray booth out of a cardboard box that is going to let me get the job done during brief lulls in the gusts. But it's not nearly as much fun as a nice calm day. I still see some "Piglet" days in my future. ;)

And as another thought.... I'm not going to modify my gun yet, but if that little electrode rod in the center of the gun were a bit shorter, I could get that tube just a little closer to the boolits and just spray em with a nice sweeping motion, rather than the current "fogger" pattern that is probably meant for wheel rims or motorcycle gas tanks.
