Ok,so my boolits look great how they fall from the mold.I am water quenching them, then powder coating. However after powder coating the gas checks are hard to get on(square up and fully seat).If i don't powder coat they go on easy peezy. So then comes the question should I powder coat after checks are installed?or powder coat then case lube with 1 part lanolin oil 9 parts alcohol befor installing gas checks?I'd like to have checked pc'd boolits when i'm all done.

Install gas check, powder coat and then final size. That's my process.

I will deff check out full leads video on the check seater. blood man thanks for the input i was worried the pc after check would be wrong for some reason.they deff look better checked after pc but whatever works.
I take my Boolits and set them in a Washer that the hole fits the GC groove.
Then I ESPC (spray) the Boolits with my HF powder coat gun.
The powder coat does not get on the base of the Boolits.
I bake the Boolits standing in the washers
So then it is easy to install and crimp the GC like it is a bare Boolits.
If I Dry Tumble the PC on the Boolits with GC's , I install the GC's first
Ok,so I have now gotten the time to cast more boolits,seat checks,powder coat,load and even shoot.and special thanks goes out to the boolits members that told me the way.I'm hitting the targets and plinkin my 303 for penny's now!
