I have loaded and fired literally thousands of coated bullets in 9mm, 357/38, 40S&W, 45acp, and 30-30. The only issue I have ever encountered is that the bullets feel a little slippery when you pick them up and sometimes little bullets like 9mm will slip out of my fingers. You can drive them faster, the don't smoke nearly as much and they don't lead the bore. When fired they do smell to me like ozone from an electrical short. Below is a pic I took of an S&S coated bullet that I pounded flat with a hammer. Zero loss of coating.
