3. Anything in the plating process that could affect either the powder or primer?

Again I know NOTHING about plating so my questions are questions not comments about whether this is a good idea or not. Will admit sounds cool for display pieces. Not sure there is a good reason other than novelty for doing so. I haven't had to face off with a werewolf but then again haven't had to face off a mob of looters either! LOL
Like i mentioned I didnt have it in ther any longer then necessary other than to change the color, and I waited forever to try them, i think i blew them out of the airweight, not like much will happen with a barrel that short
