Smoke's copper colors....

'Tested out more of Smoke's powders today..... both sprayed really well, coverage is excellent, and they feel slick!!!

I don't have any jacketed bullets handy, but here's how it compares to real copper: Close!!!
But note: This color will not tumble, it must be sprayed, and it costs a little more.

thanks for posting that, I have long been interested in the copper color. but had no idea how coppery it would really be. there is a company that sells a copper color with actual powdered copper, but it's extremely expensive

I am going to get a sprayer and a full-size oven/stove at the end of this month with a little of my return money, so i'm going to be trying out some different stuff, that'll be one fer sure
