Sounds like you have the experience it takes to make a big bore pcp accurate!!!! Give powder coating a try!!!Or buy some slugs already powder coated..It doesn't hurt anything 😀 Keep up the good work

Not necessary.. I just powder coat while still warm..

...the vehicle. But everyone was bitching about the paint job and wished it was powder coated. That would cost me more money on the production side. If my painted kayak racks continued to sell to the point I had trouble keeping up with demand, do you think I would even consider powder coating them?

Tried powder coating my 105’s today. My only comment is I will have to refine my technique 🤣. Also casted a hundred fifty or so round balls. They mic out at .363. They chamber kind of stiff, but shot well at 35yds. Going to try to go out in the morning and take it out to 50, maybe 75.

....Many different forms of jacket s are used for similar results. No powder burners are wearing out barrels from solid copper slugs. Powder coating is a Jacket performing similar results to copper jackets at less velocity of course. Powder coat makes your slug more slippery. And of course lube...

Do you have any experience with powder coating?

For you guys powder coating, how does that work when remelting the coated boolits? just burns off no issues?

I was thinking of getting a Lee APP press for sizeing Airgun Slugs...I can cast five at a time.....I.can powder coat about 10 lbs at a time.. Sizeing the powder coated slugs is the slowest step...Handling each individual slug....I already have the Lee App bushings and bottle adapter.. I.just...

hello; i have taken my sidelever beeman apart to clean the airtube and valve. it appears i was getting powder coating flaking off and migrating through the power circuit which plugged the rifle. i have cleaned all the parts and polished the powder coating off the tube cap. pretty sure that...

Yes it will shoot!!!!Very little bearing surface!!!! Definitely powder coat design!!!!

I've tried coating and heat curing pellets (HiTek coating). No carbon build-up in barrel, but terrible accuracy/precision likely due to inconsistent coating of pellets, despite putting very thin coatings for each of 3 to 4 coats.

...with deformation. 400 degrees is well below the melting point of lead. It will lower the bhn of some alloys temporarily, but the hardness will return as they season. If I am powder coating an alloy and I want maximum hardness, I water quench them as soon as I take them out of the powder coat...

I shoot >20K rounds per year in local pistol comps and cast my own boolits so I get what you are saying. I moved away from wax lube years ago and now only use powder coat. Its a LOT cleaner and nearly smoke free.

powder coat i doubt, painted maybe but my guess would be Blued, it is cheap and could be done with hundreds hanging in a tank

@Llama I think powder coating is an option worth exploring. I don’t have comparative experience. When my barrels are leaded to the point where accuracy is affected I clean them. But I’m not shooting my .45. I like my .357s. They don’t lead up too quickly. I don’t lube my projectiles, but a...

...for lube does fine...Some like Silicon oil....Rem oil works good in my hand lapped.barrel.. There is a big difference in different powder coating s..I have Industrial Silver from Eastwood and a industrial john deer green that flat out work.. I have more than I can ever use if you need some...

Powder coat is most commonly polyester resin. Not sure how it will wear out a steel barrel in my lifetime.

@Llama I’ll pass on advice I was given. Powder coat. https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/powder-coating.1283591/ @RM.510bigbore and @karl_h have given me some good advice here. There are a few threads around the forums where the advantages of doing so are discussed. Maybe not quite the...

It smokes and smells awful but I just hit the pot with a shred of bees wax, stir and skim, just like its normal lead.

It's not. It's polyester tgic powder coat.
