I placed an order to The Powder Coat Store last week. I like ordering direct as its a little cheaper and I can buy 1# bags to try new colors. I have been long wanting a good preforming satin Black. I have found a pretty good gloss. But its labled satin. I needed more Gloss Purple so I included a couple blacks and one that struck me appealing. Aluminum White.


We have rain forcast for a couple days. So altho I generally dont have issues with that, to give all Powders there best foot forward... Ill wait for dry weather to test them.

Me too, I was thinking it odd since CW is meticulous about posting threads in the relevant sub-forum. Does this place beat you up on shipping like PowderBuyThePound does? I'm getting low on my favorite colors and looking for better options.

I didnt think so no. I think tossed the invoice... I snapped a screen shot of page. Said 45.39.
Each if the three 1# bags was about 8$ and the Purple, 2# was 16-17$ so 39/40$ total. So under 6$ shipping.

Jeeze, that's good pricing! I was paying $12-15/lb for bargain-bin discontinued stuff plus paying extra for screw-top containers (I know how much they actually cost from U-line), then paying exorbitant freight. I'll check them out, thanks CW!

you could come out ahead by buying the harbor freight powder and dumping it out to get the containers.

IMHO good zip loc bags are superior then any jug for powder storage.
For mixing duties, I like large containers and small qualtities of bullets. Say 100-150.

I have t found a good container I can buy that works. Altho Eastwood makes a dandy, its just smaller then I like and wont do 100 large caliber bullets.

My fav so far is dietary or protein drink powder containers. They are robust and screw tops. My Nephew loves Quick. I get the jugs, you can see in my videos. They are yellow with blue screw top caps and work very well for me.
