I've been using the powder coated bullets for about three years. I started for health reasons as my Blood lead level was off the chart. I figure any time I can reduce contact with lead is a good thing. Have now gotten to the point where the Health Department stops calling me. As far as the lipstick red powder coated rounds, I believe those are made by Scarlett Darlin. You will finer no finer person or product in in Cowboy Action Shooting.
