There a couple out there that makes them. To be honest I just use what I have. I think arsenal molds and mp molds makes some without the lube groves there are probably more.Is anybody making molds without lube grooves for the PC people.

I've been using the Harbor Freight red for the last 4 or 5 years on my 38/357 cast rn with pretty good results.
I've just recently used up all of my Alox lubed 9mm boolits so looking forward to some cooler weather to cast and powder coat some 9s this fall.
I have seen both used successfully and let them go for About 15 to 20 min. I use mine a little different. I set a #5 bowl in the tumbler. I will see if I can get a pic. I never had much luck with hf powder. White being the worst coverage of hf colors. Heating the pills before coating helps but the white still came out splotchy. Of the hf colors the red is the best. Did you have any problems with the hollow point filling with powder?So I did up 660 LYMAN 9MM NEW HP 125gr 356637 #:2650637 and what a process that was.. The mould is very picky and likes to be run HOT & Fast. The boolits it cast's are however are just awesome! I know alloy's have a lot to do with this sorta stuff, but damn if .7gr SD (130.2gr AVG. with WW) & .002" Avg. Length Variance Great! I tried to get a decent photo of them up close. I find it amusing that most all of them have a "Silver Dot" left in the Hollow point.

I had a question as to using a media tumbler for powder coating. I have read a little online and wanted to know if anyone on here has any experience with it. Time, amount of BB's if necessary, should the boolits go in warm/hot?? I was able to snag a HF 5lb Tumbler yesterday from a trader for $20! If anyone has any experience with using a tumbler for PC which would you recommend I sacrifice? The Frankford Arsenal or the Harbor Freight?

I have some HF White left I might give another whirl in one of em'. My mother always said once you go Black, you never go back.. I'm not sure what she was referring too, but if it doesn't work out I could always try cleaning it out with 100% Alcohol. Thanks for any tips in advance, Happy Casting, and Powder coating
