Good Powder for Lead Bullets

Do you have a youtube video for this dry tumbling process?

Are you casting pure lead bullets or are you mixing in some tin and antimony?

Do you size after the curing process?

No I don't but there are plenty of videos on there to view. Just search powder coating lead bullets. I don't spray the powder on but apply it via a Cool Whip or butter dish. I use a hand full of black plastic air soft BBs to create the static that makes the powder cling to the bullets.

I am casting pure reclaimed range scrap with a Brinell hardness of 10-12. Hardness seems to be less important for powder coated bullets.

Size after PC. The powder painted is amazing that it really clings and does not come off during post sizing or loading. I have flattened coated bullets to the thickness of a dime and the powder does NOT come off!

Over the last two days I have shot over 500 rounds, without cleaning by barrel and the bore looks as clean and shiny as a mirror. Its pretty amazing stuff.
