Lowell:

Once they're coated, they need to be resized too.
AND don't Alox them first as the coating won't stick to it then.

As for the oven and solvent that don't happen. The solvent disolves
the powder so it sticks then evaporates before baking.

Don't know about heat lamps whether they'll get hot enough to melt the
coating. That's what the baking is about. I'm not sure but, think it takes
about 400 degree's for 10-15 minutes. Would need to read up on it again.
It's been 2-3 years since I got this stuff to play with it and never got to it
because of the health problems hitting again about that time.

Never gave much thought to coating small call stuff. Mostly pistol, and heavies
for this .358. I was wanting to have a mold made for it. Then a couple guys talked
me out of that because I'd never shoot it much. Hell I've got over $4000 in the
rifle, brass and supplies already. Time to quit and go hunting or at least to the
range again. I have 4-5 new guns and haven't even fired them in the shop trap
yet and it's only 30 feet from the door!

I just went to A/R cast bullets thread. Cal Pappas has one started about powder
coating. some pretty good suggestions on there already.
