    38-55 - Carolina Blue

    First time using Smoke’s Carolina Blue…..LOVE IT!

    This is the smooooothest powder/color I’ve used! Great coverage!

    First run with this color for my new Winchester 38-55 Sporter.

    I followed instructions posted by Smoke4320.

    Very nicely done. Great job on both the PC and casting. Looks like the same Lee bullet I use in my Winchester 38-55 Legendary Frontiersman.

    I too found Carolina Blue to be the easiest powder coating to use. Followed by the International Harvester Green. Love them both. james

    He has a advertisement in the Swap & Trade section. Just go there and find him. You will find instructions on how to order on his adds. james

    Eastwood Ford Light Blue works like that. I would not be surprised if it is the same as Smoke's Carolina Blue. I have become addicted to Smoke's Clear.

    Traffic purple also works well. At first I thought it was gaudy, but I've come to like the color. It's so easy to use!

    Those look great.

    Very nice results.

    I ordered some Carolina Blue from Smoke's earlier this week.

    It'll be my first time powder coating.

    Thank you sir. Follow Smoke’s instructions and you’ll do fine. Carolina Blue has yielded the best looking and coverage of boolits for me to date.
