I powder coated those little beauties next day in four batches. Two things I did differently than before: 1. I washed them with acetone before coating; 2. I used a #5 ice cream bucket with lots of powder. All four were cooked at approx. 400-425 for close to 20 minutes. All four batches turned out really nice. I used Eastwood powders. I left the extra powder in the bucket and just added a different colour for each batch. Some rather weird colours, but all nice and smooth!

Thanks for all the tips and experience so far. I am hooked now!

I'll get some pics tomorrow of each batch.
 
Two dark ones are LEE 150 .309 FN, lighter one LEE 160 .312 TL.

The flat nose from a 94 30-30. The others unsized will go out of my .303’s. Sized to .309 they will be used in .308 and 30-06.

Only load a couple test loads for that 94 and make sure they chamber. there is quite a difference between ogive clearance from mold to mold with that bullet. We load for 3 different 94's at my place and some slugs will chamber nicely in them but others need to be seated deeper for easy chambering
