I decided that rather than move a small amount of lead alloy bars, I would make them into something useful. In this case, 10mm 175GR bullets. HF no longer has red powder coat, the black in nonfunctional for my purposes, so I broke down and got RAL9006 white aluminum powder from Powder By The Pound. Manual agitation in a sandwich box didn't work. I put a couple of handfuls of bullets and some powder in a HDPE screw lid container and put that in the vibratory tumbler for a while. The bullets came out nicely dusted, with good cling. 1/2 hour at 400* and I had coated bullets, which I ran through a Lee sizer. Now I have bullet colored bullets. Due to lack of primers, I haven't been able to shoot any. This is serious, my stash of 10mm is down to less than a thousand rounds.
