I have been having great fun increasing bullet diameters by powder coating them. I have 500 pulled 0.308 bullets that I have been increasing to 0.311-0.312 for using in my SKS. It's very easy. I tumble them for 2 minutes in a #5 plastic ham container with a teaspoon of Harbor Freight powder coat paint and air soft BB's and bake them for 15-20 min at 350 in a toaster oven. I was able to dramatically improve accuracy in my hand cast 38-55 bullets that were undersized. Go to the Cast Boolit forum for more info on powder coating bullets. I definitely wouldn't melt them down!
