One of my last reloading sessions, I decided blue on silver looked pretty cool. Here are both 10mm and .40 cal. (Ended up with 253 in a box of 250 I bought)

Reminds me of the old Federal NYCLAD ammo!

Yes, RW and CWLongShot, I was interested in what method was used, i saw the base was coated and assumed it might have been the slurry application.
I know of the various methods and I actually have been studying the processes and applications for several years.  Bayou Bullets was the first one near me, that has been doing for quite some time.  He uses a liquid solvent as a carrier for his bullets.  The Dry shake and bake is cool and both it and the slurry methods coat the entire bullet.

The Powdered paint guns using the electrostatic method leaves the base or in some instances the flat nose exposed because of contact with the foil or metal plate used to conduct the charge for attraction.

Those Blue bullets look really nice Gandog.

I actually shot a few coated bullets yesterday someone sent me in trade, the velocities were very uniform and no smoke because no lube...As shot from the Glock factory barrel no lead and they were accurate.

My latest using 200 grain FN's.

That image is not accessible to non-regsitered users of the ammobrasstrader website. If you can please post an image we can see.

Gandog, The reason the picture will not show, is because you have to be a member of the site where the picture is...

Huh, nobody sees them? It's Photobucket. I never had any problem other people cant see them before here.

The link is not photobucket.

This is the link that you have in the image tag above:

Perhaps on the ammobrasstrader.gunloads.com site you put a link to photobucket.  If so, provide the photobucket link and I can update the post above.

I'm registered  and I cannot see the pic either..

Looks like ammobrasstrader doesn't allow external linking from their site, or Photobucket doesn't allow re-linking/embedding through third party sites.

That's what I get for being lazy and just copying it from another board, they changed it from the Photobucket address I stuck in it. Hopefully, I fixed it.

I'm trying to decide on a color for my 10mm cast bullets...

I picked up a sample pack of Leatherhead Bullets. They are a local supplier that started up not too long ago. The partners are firefighters (Shadow, weren't part of that brotherhood too?), and they are building their passion as a home-grown business. They are active among local action shooters, and their bullets are getting more popular here and farther away in the action shooting communities. They are good guys, and I like doing business locally. So if my guns like them, I might have a new supplier for my volume and gaming fodder.

These are 180 gr fp cast with "hardball" alloy. Advertised size is .401. They were closer to 0.4005.

I loaded some testers in 40 S&W and 10mm. I inherited a bunch of Win 452AA, so I was going for some bunny toot loads with this batch. For those not familiar with 452AA, it was superseded by WST, but my initial chrony test seem to indicate that it is a bit slower burning. I also loaded some higher octane testers in 10mm with Blue Dot. I am so danged busy right now, that it might be a week or two before I get to put them over the chrony and on paper.

One thing that I noticed is that the bullets give the sensation of being greasy, but they leave the fingers remarkably clean.
