Make sure you have plenty of ventilation and avoid the fumes both heating and pouring.

yes powder coating the bullets

baked on at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes it bonds to the bullets surface and provides a slick barrier between barrel and bullet.

they glide through a sizing die like they are already lubed . more velocity less powder , very very easy on the barrel , not had any leading issues


you can also hi-tech coat them or buy them hi-tech coated

Havent actually done any lol. Been collecting all the dies, brass, molds, bullets, powdercoat, gas checks, sizing bushing, thermometers, wire for making my powder coating racks, slugging balls, so on and so on. I'm going to so a whole video series but I want it to be both entertaining and educational so I'm trying to wait and do everything on camera so prole can see both my successes and fails, because alot of guys I talked to get discouraged because this videos generally so prole who have been doing it forever and a day and they make it look so easy.

Was going to have the intro video done this week but my phone I use to film needs to be repaired and my allergies are going nuts so I can't talk like I usually do either (actually got sent home from work the other day because of it)

But yeah planning on doing
7.62x54r in my Mosin sporter
7.62x39 in my bear creek Arsenal AR and My Norinco sks
5.56x45 NATO in my Daytona Tactical 1-7 twist upper and yes I have a 55grain and a 60 grain mold
And now. 22hornet which I'm currently in the process of getting some brass and dies for
Hope my latest order from mid south will cover my powder needs for this project

Dang Wolfdog
You gonna be huntin vampires?

I hope you stay single for awhile so can get a bunch of that stuff without explaining WHY lol

Wolfie,
Get on the CB site and look for the "Bullet Alloy Calculator" in the alloy section. It will tell you what to add to the pure lead you are using, like pewter for tin, solder for tin, babbit, plumbers solder, lino and mono type set, and what they are made of. If your intending to powder coat you can get away with using a softer alloy. You just put in the amount of alloy you have and can change the formulas on the spread sheet to arrive at what you need, it's cost, and BHN. It's a free and you can download it to your puter too.
There is still alot of pewter at garage sales, you just need to learn how to identify it and make sure it is Hallmarked, which it had to be to be used in food service, which is 96-98 % tin. The tin in your alloy helps get good fill out in your bullets and toughens the alloy. Try to keep the tin in the alloy close to, but below the percentage of Antimony. There is lots of reading on the cast bullet sites to help with alloy blending.
