Re: Powder Coating Cast Bullets

Quote:

Do they measure the same after baking?





The .408" is the bare lead bullet. There is no way to measure post coating and before baking since the color is literally powder. The .411-.412 measurement is after cooking but they were a little warm still.
I will re-measure them tonight and see what they come out at. There should be no problem resizing the coated and baked bullets and I will report that once my .410" sizer gets here. Others have reported no issues resizing and the smash test shows no flaking or loss of the color coating.

Follow up:

I have measured a few of them and they are averaging .4105" now.
I also was able to peel some of the blue off of the non-stick foil and it measures .001" in the thick spots so I think the bullets are getting a similar coating.
I will resize them but I am not even sure that is needed except maybe helping them to become more concentric.
