Swaging Powder coat 40 S&W with Lee sizing die produces multiple sizes bullets

Yep, I did the parchment paper as well.

The two silicone sheets I have in the two pans have been through many thousands of bullets and still work well. They are more expensive so unless you are dedicated to doing a lot of powder coating the Aluminum foil or parchment will be cheaper.

To minimize problems with powder coating I run the bullets through a push thru sizer before powder coating, then again after powder coating. That way i don't over stress the PC. On the first sizing with the as cast bullets, I put some liquid dish washing detergent on a piece of paper towel and use that as a lube pad. The liquid soap acts like a sizing lube, then washes completely off with water. Once the bullets are dry they're clean and ready to powder coat. I also use parchment paper. I find that its mush easier to use than non-stick aluminum foil.
