For what ever reason I cannot for the life of me get the coating that others claim to get. Only option left is to break down and buy the powder coating spray gun and do it right. Problem is, I want the base of the casts to be coated and that's not possible with the gun. My goal is to push cast to the low end of jacketed bullets if that's even possible possible so I was thinking the base should be covered to form kind of a gas check.
