Bullet Tip painting Fixture
« on: October 16, 2020, 11:38:16 PM »
Hi Everyone
For years i always wanted to paint my bullet tips so i could easily indentify my cartridge loadings.
Im now retired,and have lots of time to load ammo and shoot.
Recently i revisited my thoughts on painting bullet tips efficiently .
I load lots of 223 55gr 62gr 69gr plus tracers, no matter i seem to get them mixed up
So
I purchased a CNC small mill and developed a bullet painting Fixture for 223 ammo and the 300 blackout.  Im working on a you tube video and im developing a website.
Im pretty sure these fixtures per caliber will be sold under $40 each
Im still working on all the details and still doing product texting .
I now have a website up, it still needs lots of work.

I have a stupid question
I am not a bullet guru.!! Does painting the bullet do anything to the flight or grouping?

Hello Jstone
Im my testing,  no,  painting the bullet tips does not effect accuracy.
My testing was with 22-250, 223, 308, 25-06
Just a side note, our military has been doing this very thing for decades,  many 223 ammo 7.62 (308)
50 BMG military bullets are painted to Identify the round as armor piercing , tracer, incendiary,  etc.
Now getting paint on the rifling may cause an accuracy problem,  and i took that into consideration when i designed my bullet painting Fixtures, the painted bullet surface stops short of the full diameter of the bullet therefore no paint contacts the rifling
I know many people  actually powder coat thier pistol bullets,  the whole bullet and shoot them.
But i have no experience with that, but personally I don't like the idea of any foreign substance contacting my rifling
I appreciate the qeustion.
Thank you David
