230gr.45acp by rhino210 posted Sep 19, 2017 at 12:25 AM I inherited 1000 .45acp 230gr lead cast bullets manufactured by the Houston Bullet Company. I want to powder coat them but think I would need to remove the blue lube first as well as any residue before doing that. What is the best and...

I am about to embark on a custom build of an AR clone and am first in the process of getting info. I have been reading the posts i am finding here and in the AR15.com forum as a starting point.
