I have decided, despite the fact that it adds time to the bullet making process, to explore powder coating.
I do not use hollow point bullets, so I am not about to hang them on nails and spray with a gun. But, the guy(s) who tumbles coats the bullets and spreads them out willy-nilly on expanded metal ends up with little spots where the powder coat gets stuck to the metal.
Also, I noticed from the posts that some of the people who tumble the powder on, have ended up doing two or more coats to get complete coverage. I do not want to have to put more than one coat on.
There is a local Harbor Freight, so I will pick-up some of their Red powder.
So my question is: Have you found a method of tumbling flat-base bullets that imparts enough powder onto the bullets that covers enough in one coat to do the job. Or, should I just give-up and use a Harbor Freight Gun?
