Powder Coating Lead Bullets
unfy:
Oh, I figured I was doing a small bit, 20 bullets or so... that ... it wasn't going to be a big deal, but a paint hood or something is wise. put down some cardboard first or other stuff etc etc etc

Did the sizer knock off the fillet?

Yeah, uhm...search 3d printer seized. Not government, but still. You can make your own guns, just don't look like you might make anything for anyone else. The BATF will come.

Downloaded an AR receiver model in CAD. May have to end one shortage for myself... ;D
Now I may have to add powder coat to my tools.

Wowza..quite a impressive back yard garage! I think get a wire EDM for doing the mag. well, would make the job easier...might as well

I can strike it if press really hard with a car key, but it's pretty durable stuff.
The buckshot thing was thrown in just for fun ... wouldn't suggest actually powder coating it that way since ya gotta re-melt the sprue which wouldn't be cool with PC on it.
In the second picture, shows fillet problems.
Center bullet shiny surface is aluminium foil that stuck to it. To the left of that is another bullet that had similar issue. Slightly below that is a bullet that has a dark spot on the wall. Dunno what that's about.
