Many people are starting to look at cast bullets, due to the recent component shortage.
I have done a little experimental work in powder coating cast bullets during the last couple of weeks.
It may not completely replace lubing muzzleloader bullets, but it should at least greatly reduce leading of the barrel.
I have been adding a little lube to the outside of the powdercoat before loading.
The bullet below is from the Lee 450-294-M mold. It was sized after powder coating to .455 for use in a Douglas .458, 1-22 twist barrel I put on a Remington 700ML action.
