It's been one of those days....
Can't tell if brilliant or retarded. 
Because our bullets are guaranteed to prevent leading, decrease smoke, keep your bore clean and polished, and deliver exceptional match grade accuracy. All this in a package which is more affordable than plated or jacketed bullets, and they can be found in your favorite colors! http://www.egglestonmunitions.com |

Not sure why it would be retarded. People have been doing it for years, it's easy, quick, cheap, and for pistols at least delivers equivalent or better accuracy to plain lead.
There is also no argument that is extremely clean. Those prices are insane though given how simple and cheap casting is... |

I bet that if they could get that process cheap and fast enough, it'd be really popular on .22LR - you could really tart up a clear plastic box of .22 cartridges with some flamboyant colors - stripes of red and white, or company colors would be really cool. Maybe colored ones to indicate different velocities or bullet types (kinda like different colored shotgun shells). Keeping the bore cleaner would be a huge bonus, too.
The red and green ones look especially cool. |

A lot of local CO/Colo Springs competitive shooters use these guys and everybody is very happy with them. I'm not into reloading (yet) but once there, I'll be buying.
I'll be leaving work in about 5 minutes to go home and shoot a local USPSA pistol match and will see a few guys running their products tonight. I also happened to shoot with these guys last weekend up at Weld County's 3 Gun match. Great guys. Support your small business owner!! Gotta get to the range.... |

Also make sure that the PC does not contain Titanium DiOxide.. the more reputable dealers sell it with out. if you watch those two. you should be golden. the barrel should be at the maker today, When I hear more ill pass it on. |

No. You can push a powder coated bullet up to 2000 FPS. Cast, powder coat(a lot of guys shake the bullets in a solution of powder coat and paint thinner), cook for 20mins, swage. Quoted:

Cast, powder coat(a lot of guys shake the bullets in a solution of powder coat and paint thinner), cook for 20mins, swage. Ask Redarts. I think it was him or somebody else who said they were pushing .308 powder coated boolits to 2,600 or 2,800 fps. |

I have used blue bullets and they are an advantage over plain lead in a glock barrel just for cleaning wise. I got some of the new Falcoat from Falcon on the way for my 40. I love their lead bullets so I'm really looking forward to them. I think coated is a good thing. Most people now either shoot lead or plated. Coated gives you the good points of both.

Is bullet lube nessesary on these? No, I've been powder coating for a few months now. There is definitely a learning curve but I'm loving it now. Making 9mm for around .01 each. 40 for .015. I can cast and size 200 rounds in about 40 minutes. I will powder coat when I have 1000 rounds. 1 lb of resin will coat a few thousand rounds. |
