I've read where guys got it to work but I never could. I can make it work with plated and coated but nothing lubed.
That depends on the end results. One of the reasons I started coating with epoxy or PC was so I could shoot pistol bullets with scrap alloy and not have to ever worry over leading. I could run range scrap alloy in .357 magnum and there would be nothing in the bore to clean after a single patch. Previous to that I had to add something to harden them and be sure to use the right lube and even then sometimes still have lead in the bore. And being able to dry tumble and bake without having to touch them may take a while for the oven to cook the finish but it's very little hands on time. I've never felt like investing in a Star lube sizer or similar but I but I can shake and bake a large volume easily as fast as than the Star with shake and bake and a Lee sizer. And when I want to change calibers it's a heck of a lot easier.DaveInGA wrote:I have several varieties of the powder coat and epoxy coatings, but all this spray or shake and bake still adds time better spent reloading and shooting/hunting.
This part isn't directed at anyone in general:
What I don't get when the coatings subject comes up are the people that crow about how they never get leading in there guns so it's an answer in search of a problem or some such word spew. Yay for them. But for those of use that have a gun that's a pain due to overly tight throats, rough bores, don't feel the need to have multiple bullet diameters for multiple guns needs, tight chambers, or any other issues then coatings really simplify things. It's just another tool in the belt; it's not the ends all means all.
