[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2173982, member: 807"] At this point, it hasn't grown to the point that I have to resize. If I plate to the depth that the commercial plated bullets are, I would need to start with a smaller diameter bullet. I think with the hard cast bullets, I can get by with a thinner plating. I plan to do some chronograph tests with plated and unplated bullets with the same load to see if I can see any difference in velocity. So far I have been working with small quantities (1 or 2 at a time). When I go to a basket arrangement, I will have to recalibrate the current level due to the increased surface area of the cathode. Just getting the plating to this point has been very satisfying for me. I will post pictures later.. [/QUOTE]
