I have come across a PC company called Prismatic Powder. Has anyone coated any boolits with this product? I did order in a lb or 2 of the transparent copper and will be coating my 9mm and 45 when I get it. I will keep all posted on the results. I was just wondering if anyone has had experience with this product yet?

I ordered online and it got here today. Ordered it on Wednesday and got it on Friday with fedex delivery. So far I am impressed with the product, I ordered a copper top coat, so basically a clear with copper tones. I did 300 pieces of 9mm 125gr and 50 pieces 45 230 gr this evening, 15min at 350f let them cool and loaded them, off to the range to test in the morning. They are not the prettiest since this is my first powder coating attempt. I believe a solid Color would give better coverage Color wise, but they are all coated so the real test will be shootin them and seein what kind of lead residue is left behind.

Powder cost 15.25
Shipping 9.78
Tax .75
Exchange is crappy
Total cdn was around 32.50 for a lb including shipping and all fees.

There are benefits to ordering quantities but this was a test coating. So why order a whole lot if it might not work out.
Besides I don't go for looks, I go for practicality/accuracy
 
So went t the range today, had a few issues. I coated the bullets in steps and in batches. Batch 1 a single coat, batch 2 double coat, batch 3 a triple coat. Yes the more coats the better looking the projectile. The issue was that my hi power hates more than one coat, it seems to have very tight tolerances in the chamber. Now my wig p229 had no issues with any of them. So from now on a single coat will do. There was no smell of burning plastic or anything, and even better no lead sticking in the rifling, even after 50 shots of each batch through each pistol. Accuracy did not differ between the number of coats.

Thanks for the update.

I have never had to use 2 or more coats with PC.
 
It's more of a topcoat with a copper undertone in it, it is meant as a topcoat for an aluminum base coat to really have the Color come through. Therefore on a basic cast bullet it has coverage for the clear, but the copper undertone is a bit off. I will still use it as a single coat until I consume it all up. In the end they might not look like a copper bullet but they are still sealed and leave minimal lead residue in the barrel, which in the end is what I was after. This is an excellent option instead of lubing the bullets and having that mess around. Plus in the bonus side I can cast all winter, then powder coat and have them stored for countless years for when I need them for reloading.
