Wow.

A German(?) Dolomite. Guess it goes to show how small a world.


I wonder how they would compare to powder coat. I'd imagine powder coat would be more heat tolerant, but there are some very high heat epoxies as well. Maybe about the same? Edited November 27, 2013 by TrickyNicky

The powder coating I use is safe to 3,200 fps. No clue where the epoxy fails but it will not work better for me than powder coating because everything I shoot is well below 3,200 fps.

 

I watched that video early on when I was trying to find something. I found that using laquer thinner and standard powder coating powder worked extremely well. But even with that being said I have moved on to using a powder coating gun. I like how the gun gives a nice looking bullet but it doesn't perform any better than the alquer thinner method.

 

There are some that are actually putting their bullets in a tumbler with dry powder coating powder. They say it gives a nice even coat and then you pout it out onto a screen to save the excess. I have not tried it yet but I will because I hate using the gun even though it gives amazingly beautiful bullets. I prefer ease over looks. They have also mentioned that if you tumble the cast bullets too long it will reduce the size.
