I am a Alabamian. Raised in Greensboro, and Centreville. I am a retired dentist and Naval officer. I attended The University of Alabama for my BS and the University of Alabama School of Dentistry for my DMD. I have lived for the last 50 years in Northwest Florida, near Panama City.
I have been reloading since high school and casting since about 1970.
I have reloaded shotgun, pistol, rifle, many calibers.
I have built a muzzleloading rifle scratch from parts: wooden plank, rough brass castings with sprues intact, draw file the octagonal barrel flats, cut the dovetails, cut and tapped the vent.. In other words, not a kit.
In retirement one gets restless and wants to try many different things, esp. with Covid 19 cabin fever, so I have taken an interest in powder coating.
I am not interested in handling each individual bullet. I don’t want to stand them on end for anything. Especially for spraying.
I don't want the technique I use to be any more difficult than tumble lubing with BLL.
There seem to be members on this forum who feel the same way and who already have experience that I would like to glean from.
So thank you for giving me the opportunity to join you.
All you guys out there in the “Shake and Dump and Bake” camp please tune in and tell me what I need to know.
What powders work best and what doesn’t work for that technique.
Thanks,
Tom Stone
