Just starting out, I would get a six gang Lee would.
How are you going to size them?

I currently have a 125gn Lee Mould. It does a nice job. 6 cavity

I had been playing around with various Eastwood powder coats and have learned that some work better than others.

Reason I was looking for no lube groove was because I had read they are more designed for accepting powder coat.

On flip side, alox does well when I don’t want to cook the bullets. But I do tend to PC more.

I’m just learning and curiosities on performance.

I’m using a Lee 356 sizer kit. I have been putting my PC bullets in a baggie, giving them a quick spray of one shot, letting them dry and then running them through the sizer. I’m not sizing until after powder coat.

You might try this company. I have allot of their molds.

Best moulds for casting lead bullets. Hollow point, hollow base or solid bullets. Molds are Brass or aluminum.

You should look into Hi-tek coatings. I did the powder coating for a short period of time. Then I tried Hi-tek, still a cook on coating but I believe a much better and easier coating for bullets.
I believe you will find having the lube grooves will make them easier to size with home equipment.

How are you trying to coat your bullets?

I’ve been using this technique for awhile now. It might be your powder that’s causing you issues. I started out trying harbor freight and it was horrible. Later on I got some from Eastwood and have had much better luck.

Tank’s Powder Coated Cast Bullet Clinic - American Handgunner

By now, you’ve observed my proclivity for Powder Coated (PC) projectiles I’ve cast myself. In 30 years of casting, I’ve come to the conclusion PC cast slugs is faster and easier than traditional lube/sizing and offers the benefits of driving softer lead alloy bullets faster, without barrel...

This one is slightly heavier but has a bevel base.

They offer a 125 but it’s a flat based version.

I believe these are CNC made so he can adjust certain parts, he may be able to make the truncated cone with a bevel base. I have a handful of Arsenal molds and they are of great quality and priced very well.
