I have shot a ton of SNS coated bullets and agree with what's been said already. Very little smoke and very clean to handle. And you never have to worry about getting a batch of bullets where half the lube has fallen out. My favorite load is a 158gr LSWC over 4.9 grains of titegroup. Pretty close to a maximum load but still very low pressure in a .357. Accurate in everything I own from 1 7/8" barrel up to an 8 3/8" barrel and not a lot of recoil. And speaking of lipstick bullets, I don't know why everyone seems to be going to a red coating. SNS used to be gold but they're red too now.
