I usually buy from Bayou Bullets.

They seem like the ship when the feel like it or when they get around to it.

Does anyone have any other vendors they like for Hi-Tec coated bullets?

I coat my own as well, but I also cast my own from dug range lead. trying to keep costs down as much as possible.

Here we go, down a rabbit hole!
Do you cast from straight range lead or do add anything to make your own 'recipe'? I've found range lead to be all over the place in hardness, my solution is to smelt in large batches of about 60lbs and pour in 5 lb ingots, then after doing a couple of batches like that I then remelt using ingots from all batches. I may not get the exact BHN I want but all the same! Unfortunately my Lee tester was loaned out and never returned. Just wondering, how do you do it?

Hey brother, how you doin....
As for lube, i still do quite a few quick batches with a STAR lubrisizer just because i can lube them up quick to be able to shoot the next day. I`ve just started getting into the powder coating thing last couple years, so i`m still kinda green at it. So far, i`ve been doing pretty good with the powder coating, Pete! Back many moons ago, i use to use that Lee`s Liquid Alox. Ughhhhh, that stuff was terrible. It would pug up your dies all the time. I hated the stuff.
