I will say it again: cast them out of the right alloy, size them correctly, and use the right lube, and you are good to go. Plastic coatings are the answer to a non-existent problem.
I was slow to the coated bullet process, but it is not a solution looking for a problem. You get essentiallly a more user friendly plated bullet that is cheaper & can easily be done at home. Less smoke, no leading, cleaner guns,kinda hard not to like the process. I'm not selling my Star sizer, but i am using it a lot less.
Powder coated or HT, pretty much the same but the pc will take higher vel & still give good accuracy.diff invel betweenthe two, within the std dev.
