Powder coating cast bullets?
A friend of mine has taken to doing this and really likes the results so far. He tumbles them in a small container with the powder and air-soft pellets, then bakes the coating on in an old toaster oven. He sizes after the coating is fully cured and has had no problems with the coating coming loose and they hold the size very well. He has recovered several fired bullets that have shown no separation of the coating and has even smashed them with a hammer with only minor damage to the coating. So far he is very impressed, claims he gets no leading and has noticed no deterioration in accuracy. Has anyone else tried it? What sort of results have you gotten?
