[QUOTE="Huffmo, post: 1125675, member: 92530"] Hello ya'll! New here, but it seems ya'll have some great info going on about HBN. I too have recently got bit by the bug and unless I missed it being covered here- I've got a question. I don't plan on coating bullets or bores over .30, and mostly 6.8, 6.5, and .223. My question is- with a Lortone 33B tumbler, is there any valid reason not to use 7.5 lead shot? I get where SS media tends to beat up bullets, but I can't help thinking about the nature of a 'Dead Blow Hammer' to impart the HBN onto the jackets. Why would lead be bad? Or, am I breaking new ground here? Dangit, I thought of another question already... Has anyone tried rolling wax lubed hard cast bullets on the bearing surface through HBN on something like a glass or marble slab? Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
