[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4259619, member: 15054"] I shake and bake mine. [ATTACH type="full" width="230px"]476062[/ATTACH] I use this container after it is empty of course. About handful of bullets 1 Tablespoon of Eastwood Ford Light Blue since HF red is no longer made. Swirl the bullets in the container quickly with lid on and tight for about 20 seconds or so. Remove lid and look at bullets. They should all be coated. I then rub my clean dry fingers in the powder that is on the side of the container. I pick up bullets with dusted fingers and place them on the cookie pan that goes in the toaster oven. That pan has parchment paper on it cut to fit. Bullets do not stick to parchment paper. I place them on their bases nice and neat. 20 minute cook time in my preheated Toaster oven. Eastwood states 400 F at 20 minutes. I have not checked my oven temp but if I am at 375 on the dial it works excellent. 400 browns up my parchment paper. That paper is rated at 420-450 f. I turn it off and leave the door closed to cool down. I then size them through a Lee push through sizer. If you can't find the correct size you want you can hone/polish those to a custom size but i bet Lee will also do that for you. Lead needs to be fresh and clean and dry to allow the coating to stick well. If the lead is old and chalky it will not work. If you touched the lead bullets with oily/clamy fingers it will not work as well. If you are having issues you can warm the bullets with a hair drier before you put them into the plastic container. No plastic BB's needed. I have coated thousands of lead bullets this way. [/QUOTE]
