Enamel coated bullet, method of making an enamel coated bullet

A method for manufacturing an enamel-coated bullet, said method comprising the steps of:

• a. casting a bullet from a metal material;
• b. quenching the cast bullet;
• c. applying a lubricant to the bullet;
• d. sizing the bullet to the appropriate caliber;
• e. rinsing the bullet in a solvent;
• f. applying an enamel coating to the bullet, said coating comprising:
• i. about 1 part by volume lacquer thinner;
• ii. about 1.5 parts by volume hardener;
• and
• iii. about 2.5 parts by volume epoxy paint;
• g. contacting the bullet with a moving fluid for a sufficient time that the bullet becomes substantially dry;
• h. heating the bullet in an oven at a temperature of between about 150 and about 250° F. for a time between 20 and 45 minutes;
• i. applying a lubricant to the coated bullet;
• and
• j. resizing the bullet to the appropriate caliber wherein the coating further comprises between about 0.5 and about 2 volume percent of a dry lubricant;
• and wherein the dry lubricant is graphite.
