@branba88 well.. you wouldn't want to do this to "loaded" munitions. you want to keep moisture away from munitions. also, the piece being plated, needs to be grounded to attract the charged solution to it. also, the larger the batch, the more surface area you will be plating.. thus, the current and source plate must be much bigger as well. another problem is, when plating multiple small objects, the objects must be a good distance away from each other.
Very nice. There just isn't anything we can't do when we make our own bullets. Going to stick with this play around with it. Hopefully I will have the remainder of my stuff to do this myself.. Great job Dan..
What is the benefit?

@mojustin absolutely NONE. it is the demonstration of copper plating. purely aesthetic for home swaged projectiles.

if you didn't notice, i was plating, projectiles only.. these where 40 cases, that where filled with lead, then swaged into a 45 projectile.
