I go there often ( castboolits) good information. I usually mix 2 to 1, wheel weights/ pure lead. Looking forward to PC instead of lubing. ThanksRed harbor freight was my favorite coated completly and was glass smooth.
The Harbor freight white is not smooth and does not cover well but that may not be seen on target paper.
Heck wrinkled bullets will shoot as good as non wrinkled ones.
I researched a bunch and the Eastwood light Ford blue was the favorite among many.
I have to agree.
Here is a little quick google search on the subject.

While you are at the cast/coat game you can try softer alloys with the powder coat and see how they shoot.
I do not do hard cast.
The hardest lead I use is clip on wheel weight.
I will mix 50/50 of that and soft lead for pistols other than full house 357 magnum loads.
Hasn’t steered me wrong yet.Well hell if you learned it from the Mighty Rat it has to be correct. LOL!!
I could be wrong but I don't worry much about the lead - most is wheel weights and range scrap - I think when I dump the PCd bullets in the sink of water they harden quite a bit - sometimes rifle bullets will break off at the top of a crimped neck in the rare case that I need to pull them - so I suspect they are pretty hard - and I doubt it has any effect on how they shoot = JMOI go there often ( castboolits) good information.
