These are 358-158 KT bullets before and after PC (BHN 12). I shake & bake using Smoke's clear, in this case.
If you zoom in on the first pic you can see nice clear crisp edges. After powder coating, if you zoom in on the second pic, you can see the edges are dented in slightly.
Is there a way to avoid this? Am I shaking/swirling too hard?
Edited to add: I cast, then size ( first pic), then PC and then size again (second pic).
