    the steps are

    cast, coat, quench, dry, size, load, unload

    Those do look good and it’s probably cheaper than the hi tek coating.

    Also, I mentioned it in the other thread, but Fortunecooki45LC and Elvis Ammo are two great youtube channels with lots about casting and coating

    yeah I think it is. I don't know exactly how hi-tek works, but I think it's a little more of a pain to do, since it is applied as a liquid and whatnot.

    I've cast, coated and loaded for,

    .38/.357, .32 acp, 7.62x25 tokarev, .30 carbine, 8mm mauser, .223 rem

    Got the molds and sizers to do any .30 cal rifle now too, and 9mm, but haven't tried it yet. I have shot lots of commercial coated 9mm bullets before though.

    One of my new years goals is to do 7.7 Jap, 7.62x39, and get some cast bullets to cycle in my Garand.

    I’ve never done it before but from the videos I’ve seen it doesn’t look hard. Mix the coating and accelerant together then shake the bullets around in a plastic container with the coating and bake. This is the only coating I’ve used because I get my cast bullets from bayou bullets. I want to try powder coat now and see how it compares. I’m sure it’s about the same result.

    Before I read anything, just as I saw the pic, I thought, DAMN, a 357 loaded with a Viagra pill - that's a hell of a way to administer it.
