I've used it and it seemed to work fine for me.

thanks guys.

I’ve had decent results with it. Maybe not as good as Harbour Freight Red but pretty darn close. It works for me.

Ya, works quite well.

I had better luck with the powder from emerald coating. Its not that much more costwise, seemed to coat more evenly for me

See my post in "Reloading" not bullet making.

Cheap powder = cheap coverage. Not impressed with the chi-com powder.

I think a lot of the problems with the Princess auto powder has to do with humidity in the air. If you live in Ontario or east they all say it is crap. If you live in bc by the coast it is the same response. If you live in Alberta to Manitoba it seems to work ok.

I tried some of Smokes powder and it is excellent year round. If I powder coat in the winter with princess auto stuff you would be hard pressed to tell the two powders apart.

I tried them and it didn't make a bit of difference, the bullets were coated the same. I stopped using them 2 years ago.

Picked up some blue and black. Worked pretty good for shake and bake.

Didn't bother with BB's even though I'd bought some. Hi-tech gave a bit better results but I'm happy with both.

Humidity is not a factor. Your chosen method of powder coating has the biggest impression.

Quality of the powder formula is key. My usual method works great, but the chi-com powder just didnt measure up.

Woops

The PA blue works fine for me.
