[QUOTE="Clark, post: 937817, member: 6600"] I started with that kit. I used it for a while with good results. Don't use exposed lead bullets or the tub and media become contaminated and moly will not stick. After a while I stopped using the media as it cut into the tubs and made them rough. It is also .2" in diameter and too hard to separate from the .223 bullets. I went to Copper coated steel BBs and did magnetic separation. Then I stopped using the vibrator and tubs. I put everything in plastic cups, duck taped them together and threw them in the Thumblers Tumbler. Then I stopped using the BB media, and just did direct impingement from bullet to bullet. 12 years later, that is where I am now.... I am still using the powder that came with the kit, nothing else. Sometimes you should clean bullets with Alcohol before moly coating, and sometimes you don't need to. It is hard to tell. [/QUOTE]
