Compared to lead? Powder coating has been a hot thing for at least five or six years. Guys are shooting thousands of rounds, year after year, and it's not a problem. To the contrary. It's a huge improvement over lead, and it's stood the test of time.
No longer do you have to worry about your lead bullet being to hard or to soft. Powder coat it and hardness hardly matters. You can push lead bullets to jacketed velocities without leading. Worse case, a little p.c. residue in the barrel that easily wipes out.
Go to YouTube and watch a few videos on how it's done. There's lot's of little tip and tricks that are specific to bullets. More than one way to skin a cat, too. Find the way that looks like it would work best for you. Nobody is trying to sell you something. Just sharing techniques.
Powder coating bullets is a MAJOR advancement. If you're not shoot p.c. bullets your missing out on a good thing. I'm sure the powder you have will work fine. A lot of guys are getting their's at Harbor Freight. It's nothing special and inexpensive.
