My experiments with PC pistol and rifle bullets

[popper]

Had trouble with the Lee sizer leaving little rings of Cu putting on hornady GC so I used a 310 last nite, shake in PC, none fell off. baked on H.P. for an hour, used my coat hanger wire 'handles' to lift ~70 145gr off & set in pink hospital 'tub' of H2O. Worked great. Then resized in 309. Handles are a rectangle with a bent 1/2" dogleg to hold the tray.

Your HP conduction-bake is pretty unique, not sure anyone else is doing that but by golly it sure works doesn't it?

Well, your feedback and advice is really helping. Not "perfect", but here is the last batch of PC coating.

After the oven:

Next a single coat of BLL which is always my last step

Some powde will stick pretty bad while others not really at all

i bump mine into a basket. Mostly just single layer. But more ofter n bake. Some minor hickies but nothing that effects anything.

What color is that green (besides green!)?

 

[Tomme boy]

Knowing CW, it is probably a mix of about 3 colors. If you are talking about the top pic. @CWLONGSHOT

That looks like a good one, CW. You got that shake/dump/bake thing down pat.

 

[RBHarter]

Looks more GM 199 Tropical Turquoise to me .

Good looking finish .

 

[CWLONGSHOT]

Agreed it’s more turquoise to my eye as well.

But pleasing just the same.
