[QUOTE="Les in Wyoming, post: 2143821, member: 115820"] Well, it doesn't work. I cleaned some copper jacketed bullets and then pre-heated them to give an extra help in adhesion. Then I tumbled them for a half hour with air soft bb's. The powder did not stick. I have not had any luck trying to powder coat bullets. Anyway, I loaded these copper jacketed bullets as they are and they seemed to shoot ok. Non-copper jacketed bullets do not fly as accurately unless they are .4595. I have some polymer coated bullets that do not shoot consistently in this bun (marlin 1895 CB). But they do in my other gun (regular Marlin 1895). I am guessing that my CB needs bigger diameter bullets. But I don't know how to add another .001 to these bullets. Nor do I know where to find bullets. [/QUOTE]
