Sweet.
I see the bullseye shooting crowd seem to be resistant to accepting powder coating boolits.
Good thing I'm an amateur. I'm open minded about it.
I tried shake n bake with gloss black and safety orange, both from Summit Racing.
The wet black works very well. Not so, the orange.

Summit carries the same powder coating gun Sears used to sell.
I may get one to go along with my Horrible Freight setup.
I like the idea of not having to fire up the compressor and adjust the regulator.

I'm looking at getting a DEWC mold for my M52, for when I can't find HBWCs. Like, now.
I will powder coat the DEWCs and see how they work in the 52.

I'm thinking about trying powder coating some boolits for my muzzleloaders. Don't know how well it will work.

I'll probably get some of the TSB, for when I run out of the black, orange, red, and yellow.

Powder coating is exactly what I need to be able to run my home swaged .44 and .45 boolits to Ruger-only velocities.

PC has also rekindled my interest in making my own boolit molds, since I no longer have to worry about designing cherries and form tools with lube grooves. It makes the cherry design a LOT simpler.
