if I powder coat my 457 slugs willl it slow them down or speed them up

I'm getting into powder coating by accident. I have a customer who loves an MP .252 slug. Problem is, the slugs vary between .252 and .2535. I'm now going to powder coat these slugs next week so I can get an additional .001 - .002 build-up. Then size 1/2 order .253 & 1/2 .254. I'm sure the...

Powder coating is worth it for me in Airguns...Leading is my number one problem with accuracy and slugs..Im using normal cheap production grade barrels..IF i were using American made custom double lapped barrels , lapped after reaming the barrel, and again after rifleing....Like Krieger...

Leading the barrel... that makes perfect sense. Didnt think about tracer effect, either bonus. Appreciate the explanation!

Powder Coating works it isnt snake oil..CCI sells clean 22Ammo for moderators and such..It s powder coated from the factory..Federal also does powder coat pistol ammo.. If it wasnt a big deal to reduce leading copper jackets would not be a thing..Powder Coating and High Tech are a poor mans way...

So ironic that I showed my ignorance to this implementation of powder coating and a week later ZAN releases powder coated slugs. 🤣 I've messed around with HBN, but haven't committed the time to really utilize it.

About $2.00 worth of pure lead and powder coating..A few hundred slugs....Beat tariffs... lol

Hyper line must be a powder coat with some type of dry lubricant added?

This has been debated over and over, but wanted to get your opinion on the powder coating. Benefit for air guns? I know folks talk about less lead dust, etc... but that makes zero difference to me. Great looking little pills there, by the way!

...and be difficult to clean off. The rifling is designed to cut into the lead in on projectile, therefore your "resistance" is still lead, not powder coating. Typically you want about a thousandth of contact, so the powder coating alone would be counter intuitive to diameter consistency.

thanks to all for the great info. we are iced in right now but Im going to get to powder coating and testing as soon as we thaw

Can’t tell the difference between blued steel and powder coat?

Started polishing and powder coating an AR2078 bulk fill project I've been building.....

Remember that they should still be sized correctly after powder or your results will be tainted.

I've been running powder coated subsonic 30 and 35 cal bullets in powder burners for years. The bore stays remarkably clean, velocity I never did a side by side comparison. The bullets still engrave fine and the rifling is only there to cause enough grip to impart spin. Glock and fx have...

I cast and powder coat slugs for my Airforce platforms in .510 up to 650 grain spire Point Boat tails..I shoot out to 200 yards now and soon to 300 yards with a lil work on the new range.. Check out castbollits.com for learning about casting...

Are the originals powder coated? The recent one's have better trigs?

200 Yard Range 🙂 First time use....510 Texan and Free wheel weight lead NOE cast powder coat 450 grain 820 fps..197 yards. No sorting just sized and lubed..

Wow great job on first time casting!!!! Hollow points can be tough....I missed a few key details when i started casting..took me a lil bit to figure it out...Give powder coating a try....its pretty easy...it helps with leading for sure...
