Powder coating is quick, easy and dirt cheap

It just occurred to me that the bullets I made for load dev on my new revolver yesterday cost me nothing except powdercoat as they were made from 100% range scrap I had collected on my last few club shoots and the melting pot and powder coating oven were both running off solar. That means they cost an almost incalculably small amount in powder.

I got a new to me pair of moulds on saturday and inclusive of mould degreasing, handle assembly and smoking I had a batch of roughly 100 of each powder coated and ready for sizing at 5pm and everything packed away from a cold start at 1:30. I find bullet making quite relaxing and now that I can do some of it for damn near free I'm extra chuffed.
