Maybe that is where this weird twitch came from..;-)

I am thinking a toaster oven. I just need 300F for 1 hr.

With a good supply of WWeight lead, I cast all of my pistol bullets. Its relaxing! Or maybe its just the lead poisoning. But after a nasty day casting takes the edge off. Well that and a tall whiskey. They shoot great but I don't like the mess of the tumble lube I have been using.

Results! Good!

I picked up a toaster oven on sale for $30, 1 quart of the KG Molly Gear Kote, and a Preval sprayer.

I coated 300 45acp bullets. Got them loaded up and fired. Absolutely no leading in the barrel! Going to put another 300-400 through it before cleaning. It looks that good! Now on too 9mm and 357mag!

This stuff is easy too apply. But it does smoke like a beast once the oven hits 300F for about 10 min. So make sure you have good ventilation.

Sounds like a winner.  If the cast bullets i buy didnt have lube already on them i would consider trying this.
