    Looks like Sonny Slugs is getting into Powder Coating

    ...the homework online, but no question there is a learning curve in the real world. Seems like the only other airgun slug maker I know of that offers powder coating for airgun slugs is ZAN and AEA. ZAN priced their hyper line 43% above traditional slugs. We'll see how it goes in the coming...

    Painted slugs ROCK!!!

    I powder coat all the slugs i cast...I like even at night the shiny powder coat slugs reflect the Ir850nm light and look like tracers lobbing in there...Good shooting...Nice Video

    They cast at .302 by default. Using pure lead can push them a little farther. Powder coating is also an option. I've never sized over .301 for anyone yet.

    I noticed on your site you offer in sizes from .298 - .303 . So you are powder coating to get the larger diameter?

    I'm getting into powder coating by accident. I have a customer who loves an MP .252 slug. Problem is, the slugs vary between .252 and .2535. I'm now going to powder coat these slugs next week so I can get an additional .001 - .002 build-up. Then size 1/2 order .253 & 1/2 .254. I'm sure the...

    ...the headache and slug your barrel. From what customers are telling me, the bare lead slug wins out vs. the power coated ones if powder coating isn't necessary. I only powder coat if the customer's barrel needs an extra .001 - .002 for a proper fit. It's rare so far, but it works when needed.

    I will send you a few pounds of quality powder coating to cover all that soft lead when cast..Powder Coated slugs are really nice in a good barrel..I can do 25 lbs of slugs ar a time powder coating with shake and bake method.. 25lbs of 650 grain .510 not that many..lol...

    Hard Cast in .357 big bore

    I cast 358 and resize all sorts of shapes down to 355. I don't see why sizing, powder coating or gnurling wouldn't apply to airguns so long as the bearing surface isn't too great. I bet some of the commercially available bulk buy 9mm truncated cones that are powder coated would work.

    Powder coating is worth it for me in Airguns...Leading is my number one problem with accuracy and slugs..Im using normal cheap production grade barrels..IF i were using American made custom double lapped barrels , lapped after reaming the barrel, and again after rifleing....Like Krieger...

    Leading the barrel... that makes perfect sense. Didnt think about tracer effect, either bonus. Appreciate the explanation!

    does powder coating slow big bore ammo down

    Powder Coating works it isnt snake oil..CCI sells clean 22Ammo for moderators and such..It s powder coated from the factory..Federal also does powder coat pistol ammo.. If it wasnt a big deal to reduce leading copper jackets would not be a thing..Powder Coating and High Tech are a poor mans way...

    Slugged barrel and it is .3068 so I'll have to get a different slug. Thank Accurate 30-070a or 31-070a in .307 would be best?

    Looks like Sonny Slugs is getting into Powder Coating

    ...can shake and bake 25 lbs of slugs at a time. There is nothing but good things that come from keeping soft lead in contact with hard steel rifeling.. Most of the pistol cast slug makers been offering powder coating for awile.. Once FX comes out with a powder coated slug everyone will be all...

    Thanks for the feedback! I think I found your website just yesterday and plan to order some of these from you. I have experience casting for PBs but none for Airguns.
