I am gearing up to give PCing a try for the first time. A member here sent me a PC starter kit that included a tupperware bowl and bbs, and powder. Well, not knowing any better, I swapped that baggy of powder which was red, for a bag of black, out of the swap box that was going around a few years back. I just would rather have black. I didn't think that perhaps the black was unknown, at least to me, and the red this gent sent me was known good.
I've read you should start with known good powder, such as eastwood ford blue. My question is... what are the signs that my powder is the issue if I have problems starting out?
I plan to follow the MP guide -molds.com/tipstricks/powder-coating-lead-bullets-dry-tumble-dt-method/
I've heard that you have problems if its humid, well, it's humid as crap here this time of year. Normally its cooler in the evenings and morning. So.....if I just wait until the evening on a less humid day, is that sufficiently not humid enough or do I need to just plan to wait til winter? Is there any powders that are not subject to humidity concerns?
Thanks for the tips.
