    Anybody else doing powder coating lead cast bullets instead of using traditional lube? I love the stuff.

    Have you ran these through your gun? Owning a powder coating shop I'd imagine the 2 mil min thickness would give you feed problems

    I have run a bit over 1000 rounds with no issues. While I don't size the 9mm bullets because my mold is a bit undersized I have sized .40 bullets and the coat stays on no flaking. I've run about 500 .40 with no feeding issues.

    So I don't have to lube them. The PC acts like a jacket.
