EVERYTHING I've seen, has stated HF red was good, but discontinued. Other colors were crap.
I've found a method that gives awesome results using the HF black powder.
I love using powder coated bullets. I have always bought them already coated. I was gathering components to PC my own and never got the powder. End of the HF red, but me on back burner.
Finally, bought some HF black and started playing. A bit different method than anything I've seen posted.
1. Preheat oven to 200°
2. Put bullets in oven for 15 minutes.
3. Put powder in tumbler.
4. Move hot bullets from oven directly into tumbler.
5. Slow tumble for 2 hours.
6. Heat oven to 400°
7. Place bullets in oven for 10 minutes
8. Move bullets from oven, directly into water.
9. Repeat steps 1-8
Let bullets dry and they are ready to load.
Tested the completed process by placing bullet on an anvil and hitting with 3# hammer.
Smashed bullet, PC did not peel, crack, chip or flake.
Test fired and barrell is clean.
A bit more time consuming, but it works GREAT.
