That’s why I stand up all mine on a silicone pad. If they have too small of a diameter, I often just use gas checks and LLA.

Attachment 306029 Wolfdog: I saw this photo on a different forum today and it reminded me about the question you asked about keeping PC bullets from sticking together. This is not my photo, just something I pulled off the web. This looks like a good solution to the question you were asking.
I will look after the initial shaking and coating. If not completely covered, I shake again and that nearly always give a complete coating.
I stand mine up in silicon ice trays I found on Amazon. I have a set of fine needle nose I use to pick them up with and drop into the tray. The trays will accommodate .358 and down. Anything larger I can easily set up on a silicon baking mat. They look almost as good as using my ES gun but not quite. Yes, it's a bit of a pain, but worth it to me.
As the others have said.
I prefer the non-stick aluminum because the silicone eventually gets a bunch of powder on it and it tends to stick to the bullets or make the bases nasty. Another reason I like gas checks on my PC'd boolits. Same reason girls wear sweaters tied around their waists (to hide their booties).
