Both should be done outside. Try shake/bake with the sun coming at the right angle and you will see small amounts of PC leaking from your container no mater how "good" the seal is. If not right away,...

If your concerned about a small PC'd bullet leaving enough contamination to worry about, you better throw away all your teflon coated frying pans. Most people ingest a good amount of that coating...

One thing to watch with the brighter colors like yellow is the bake time. The longer you "over" bake them the darker the yellow will get. Almost like your "burning" the color. I find if you stay at...

You should be able to find a good yellow too. This is a 9mm, not the large caliber you mentioned, but I like the green on the 450 so much I haven't tried any other colors.

You said a large multi-grooved bullet. As you can see the green does a great job on this 45 cal that I use on my 450 Bushmaster.

Here is a LEE 300 Grain RF for my 450 Bushmaster, GC after PC, was a job getting the GC's on. The next batch I will try GCing first. They shoot good in my Bolt Action, not sure if they will...

I don't know if they fly faster, but they do seem to empty out of the clip faster.

spray with yellow then dust with a pinch of red, bake all together.

And since your original question was for 357. I use all lee molds, PC first, then size to 358 with no GC added. These all seem to size with no problems. A little more effort to push than my 9mm, but...

So far my rule of thumb has been coat and then size/gas check. I do have difficulty with some of the big 45's and the gas checks fitting on the base a little snug. So I may try gas check, coat,...

Another idea to help with adhesion is to "warm" the slugs before putting them into the container. I usually just put some on the cookie sheet on top of the oven while it is preheating. They just need...

Bright yellow purchased on ePay w/a dash of HF Red splashed on top

Standing prevents imperfections on the sides of the bullets. Doesn't take much effort, and really not that much additional time. I do a couple hundred 9's at a time. Not super high production, but...

Just as a side note, if you find a powder that doesnt work for the shake and bake method, just save it in an air tight container for later. Because if you do get into this hobby, you may eventually...

Can you show us some Pictures? Maybe some of your shake/bake versus your new Spray ones?

Wow! An indoor range that lets you shoot reloads?! Around here you can only shoot factory loads at any of our indoor ranges. Liability for the range owner is too high. I totally understand the...

Primers are already extinct around here and have been for 6 months or so, powder is "buy what is available" not what you're looking for. It's a sorry state of affairs.

If your worried about your source drying up, and you really like the product, purchase all you can afford.

Ok... I went over to the Dark Side today. I am a Sprayer not a Shaker.. Well, today after spraying 4-500 9mm and 380's when I was cleaning up the overspray, normally I just lift up the paper I put...

Not pretty any more.

be sure to post pictures of your storm troopers vs. vaders!

Also something else. On an HP cartridge the heavy side reservoir is the side with the developer. The light side reservoir is the side with the toner. Make sure your only using the powder from the...

This is a fun idea. I don't think I will try it but am excited to see that others are going down this road. Here is what I know about toner and my thoughts. Do with it what you will. I have worked on...

I use 452 push through for my 45 auto, I saw that lee was making some custom 453 push through dies for their new style set up. I haven't been able to bring myself to buy one yet. I do use the 454 for...
