I tried coating some bullets today for the first time. I had Traffic Purple coloring. The coating increased my diameter .0025, making the bullets .4555 diameter. I coated the Lyman 452374 bullet. I ran them through a Star .452 sizer die with no ill effects, the coating stayed solid. Very pleased. I am anxious to try them out to see if they lead, and if the smoke would be gone. I found it quite tedious standing the bullets up on their bases on the tin foil to heat, using the needle nose pliers. Can they just be laid haphazardly on the foil to heat? Could I just use nitrile gloves instead of the pliers?
