Very nice be interested how they work, often thought of trying myself.
Does the copper stay the boolit past exit?

Tell us the process you used. I know how plating works but would like to know the specifics of how you did it yourself.

This is the video (3 parts) from youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KM_hr5eCNo
also you can watch my barrel slugging video, watch my homemade steam generator if you want. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuNoo4m6jso
Well of course the question is, is there enough plating to protect against leading the barrel?
Guns should only be allowed in places where people don't want to be shot.
In part two, gunlovingsob shows some recovered bullets and states there is no leading in thee barrel. Some copper is left on the bullets, but the front of the bullets are mangled from the target, but some copper is still visible. I suspect if more copper on the bullets is needed, just leave them in the solution longer.
Thanks gunlovingsob, I can see home plating is pretty labor intensive, but it's just like any other reloading/casting/swaging hobby; it's done 'cause we like to. I think I'll start gathering equipment to give it a try...

MDI, I put together some materials for copper plating last year. It was a fun experiment and the shiny boolits were kinda cool looking. I was using thin wire to hang boolits into the bath.
I split my time between CO and Crescent City, CA. If you would like to use anything I've got, you are more than welcome to it. I'll be out west again later next week. I don't know where in So Orygun, but I make frequent trips to Medford. Send me a PM if interested.
