Powder Coating Lead Bullets
DangerousDrummer:
I read all of the pages at castboolits. Looks perfect for my needs. I had just ordered a 1.2 to 35 v variable dc power supply ($15) that will handle up to 5amps in order to start copper plating. PC might just eliminate copper plating if the application problems can be overcome. I have a 9x20 lathe and cheapo milling machine so building jigs and fixtures is pretty easy. I should be able to get started powder coating this weekend after a trip to harbor frieght and Wallyworld today. There is also a company that sells larger quantities of paint in some really cool colors, most prices run $15-$20, but the number of boolits that could be coated is very high.

For pistol plinking PC might be totally awesome.... we shall see.
I'll continue the copper plating experiments, but this is a nice diversion ;)

Someone on another board pointed out something - don't coat them blue, since that's the color used for simunitions.

I think Unfy and I have found a kindred soul.

I have a book that contains plans for a 9mm machine gun that can be made in a home work shop using parts from a hardware store. Milling machine not necessary. The guy who wrote that book spent four years in a British prison for doing so.
