My first hollow point
Some pink for the 310 Cadet. This is my first try so I did a small sample.
These are ASBBDT with Smoke's powder. Worked well I think but I did buy a PC gun and am looking forward to getting that going.
I was going for the zombie look and sprayed some with Smoke's green and then sprayed lightly with HF red straight down from the top. They covered well during spraying and all had red noses, but it faded into the green when curing. I guess I should mebbe cure the green, then spray over with HF red and cure again. I'm not unhappy with the look but they were more red on top and not at all splotchy like now.

This was my roots in coating... the Piglet method. They aren't as pretty as ESPC... but the bands were coated well and they shot great!
Thanks to Rangefinder for getting me into this!!!

After testing today...... the answer is: Yes, it is better to bake them and then add the second color and bake again.
These definitely look better than my first try. I am very pleased with this effect.

First try with the gun.
The coverage is definitely better but there is a lot of lost powder on the foil. I think I can place them closer together but with such tall boolits I was worried about getting good coverage on the sides
This is with Smoke's blue.
.408"
More 310 Cadet boolits.
Coated some cup points, HPs and a couple of solids yesterday. I changed from green to red in mid-tray and some got overspray.
