For me alox tumble lubed bullets work just fine but after watching a couple videos on powder
coated bullets I got curious. Not not want to pollute my toaster oven or buy another one just for bullets. So I came up with this approach. Plastic container with the powder and a couple pieces of styrofoam which will create static electricity. A couple minutes of shaking is enough to get the bullets coated well enough. Used tweezer to pick out the bullets and place on a baking sheet lined with non stick aluminum.
First warmed up the bullets a couple minutes on the low setting and then switched to high. Don't get closer than 10 inches or you might melt the bullets. Keep moving the hot air around from different angles until you can see the paint starting to melt. Keep going until they all look uniformly 'wet'. The whole thing took less than 10 minutes. Results: Not perfect but good enough. This approach is obviously only sensible for smaller batches.
Here some 250 grain .45's
