I'm interested in getting this craftsman set-up not only for powdercoating bullets but for small odd painting jobs. would powder from Harbor Freight or Powder buy the pound work on this? any foreseeable problems with these two powders? Powder is pretty much powder as far as the gun is concerned. As...

Right now the lee 230 grain bullets are giving me fits. They do everything great accept hit the target. My groups stink at 100 yards. Looking at reaming the boat tail off or buying a plain based bullet. Are you running them powder coated? Powder coated ones tend to do a lot better than traditional ...

Somewhere on another forum someone ran a few hundred rounds through his, with what appeared to be almost no leading.

Consider getting one of the WAI guns off Ebay rather than the Harbor Freight unit. About the same price but much more compact and doesn't need an air supply. Basically a hair dryer! It's the same as the Craftsman unit I use.

Totally. Awesome.

So they don't stick to the hardware cloth at all? No marks on the boolits from it either?
