I've got all the stuff to make 'em with. but, dragging my butt getting to it.
Have a friend here that has run a couple thousand cast, coated thru
his 9mm semi and says they're great. Brought a couple to show me that
had been fired into a rocky dirt bank. The coating is still on them where it
hit the rocks even. Shows the rifling too and not cut thru. Said he'd make
up a few hundred for me to try but hasn't brought 'em by yet. That's two months ago.

Supposed to not lead a bore, break or rub off, and allow soft cast to be shot at jacketed
velocities. I've read a bunch on castboolits.com about it.
One thing I've read is the black coating don't stick very well, so use other colors.
H/F costs about $6-7, or did when I got this stuff last year.
Need to use a few drops of: MEK (methal ethal keytone) IF I have the spelling right.
I paid $8 a qr for it at the auto paint supplier. This is nasty fuming stuff.
This is supposed to be the very best solvent for powder coating.
Most I've read about say to do it outside, or with a fan blowing to clear the fumes out.

Don't have to be a toaster oven, can be any heat source you can bake 'em in.
Like the kitchen oven even. No worries here, no wife!! IF it stinks me out with fumes,
I'll just open the doors and go out in the shop til it clears out.
