    I love my lipstick 45-70s
    They do work and the store brought ones are done for the 1885 45-70 because at full noise I'm unlikely to fire big numbers

    But I'm looking at coating the 30-30 bullets because more likely to be higher volume use

    And now that I have measured the cast bullets ( and having read a bit on line ) I find that this bullet can be sized down for use in 30 cal and basically left as is with just a light crimp on the gas check for use in the 303
    So having a different powder coat colour for each would be nice
