Like Dick and other mentioned, Smokes on CB forum is great to buy from. I noticed that someone on CB mentioning that they also used Prismatic Powder. When I went to the website I was impressed with all the colors. I had forgotten that Prismatic Powder is owned by NIC which also owns Ceracote (I've spent more than a few hundred dollars there). They know finishes! As an example, they have many different clears.
As Dick stated, just about anything works with this stuff as long as you can get some static built up.

Something else I’ve discovered while looking for tinfoil one day in my wife’s pantry was Parchment paper. Works great and is re-useable, I get a 1/2 dozen use’s before the edges turn brown and I change it out. Everything slides right off of it, I don’t stand bullets or take any extra precautions anymore, just pour them in 2 or 3 deep and bake.

Don't recall if I mentioned it here or not... I usually tumble coat them in one of my vibratory tumblers. One day I decided to try to "shake and bake" some in an old plastic powder can. They came out well. Next I tried some in the same can but with some BBs. They came out even better... but the shaking drove the BB's down in the hollow points so deep that I couldn't get them out. Baked them that way and make some funky sort of flat nose plinking bullets.
Both coated well, but I didn't care for the shaking. So the idea hit me, I took a couple more empty cans and cut them up into small pieces and have been using them instead of BBs. So far so good.

Thanks for all the comments guys. Of course I sized and lubed for years with an old Lyman 45. After a couple decades I managed to get a Star and accumulated a sizable selection of dies for it. Not to mention close to 40 sticks of LBT Blue and 20+ sticks of White Label Carnuba Red. Plus a few other miscellaneous brands. I don't know that I'm ready to give up the Star yet. I need to do some shooting and get a feel for how I like these coated bullets.
