And the next day my powder coat gun showed up, couldnt let that linger for very long. Sure beats the shake-n-bake method.

More photos to come.
 
Here is one of the powder coated bullets, these being lyman keith style SWC. The powder coat gun really is the difference between mediocrity and excellence in my opinion.And for $60 its hard to argue with.

Ill do a brighter color next time so the details are more easily seen.

Well I hope you can run fast and have a LOT of endurance, he's a hard one to keep up with...:D

Good job BTW.

Now then, you need to post up test targets, along with recovered bullets and such, see ol Beagle, he just makes them for his little museum so's he can look at them all nice and pretty.

Mine, well I make them all up so I can blast them into stuff like water jugs, dirt filled buckets, and hogs if I can find them.
 
Ok. One more cause its fun.

175 grain .309 rifle bullets. These are going to find their way into my 30-30, and eventually my 300bo.
They'll get ironed out in the sizing press with the addition of a gas check.

Ha! No doubt Mike. Hopefully I wont get any bad suprizes with accuracy. :cool:

Wish I had some hogs to try em out on......well, maybe I dont. Perhaps a coyote then.
 
Them's pretty good lookin' bullets! I'll have to agree with you on the spray gun being a better coat. Some of the tumbling folks do have it down to a smooth coat, but most of them still look tumbled. The ESPC gun makes them perfect every time, no matter who does it.
Good luck with that coyote! We don't have hogs around me either. (yet)
There are some in the county, but none ever come through my place.


(and I do shoot some of mine, Mike.:p I just don't take pictures of those.;))
 
Looks like you have it down to a science. They are pretty too.

Plenty of yotes around here to include road kill evidence. In the last couple of years, there have been reports of some wild hogs on this part of Lake Martin. Hope they don't find our place. I have a Walker and a Blue Tick that keep most critters away.
