    Put them through the powder coat.
    And trialing a new Silicon baking matt instead of baking paper

    They coated nicely and will go through the .510" sizer in a few days when they are fully hard

    These Silicon baking sheets are dirt cheap and rated for 220°C
    Seemed pretty handy compared to baking paper
    Didn't stick to the bases until the bullets were fully cold.
    So just take them off before cold
