Powder coating is all the rage in some circles and has been for awhile now. It is a solution to a non-existant problem. There are NO PROBLEMS shooting cast bullets the way they have been shot since they were invented and the only thing powder coating does is make them in colors. Some people have gone dinky dow over that and color code their bullets as to caliber. I know a 30 caliber from a 45 without having one be blue and the other one red and I'll bet you boys do too. It'sa free country and you can powder coat if you choose, but there is ABSOLUTELY NO TRUTH to the notion it is somehow superior to the traditional way of shooting cast bullets and there is NO BALLISTIC PROOF that it is. There is a lot of BALLISTIC BALONEY about powder coating, but it is nothing more than the latest fad dreamed up by bored shooters with nothing better to do. Their claims are completly unsubstantiated because if those powder coated bullets were as good as they claim, every commercial bullet maker would be making them. How many can you name who are?
