    Airforce Airforce 22 Condor 17 inch LW Barrel 39 gr at 1050 fps

    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...

    does powder coating slow big bore ammo down

    So ironic that I showed my ignorance to this implementation of powder coating and a week later ZAN releases powder coated slugs. 🤣 I've messed around with HBN, but haven't committed the time to really utilize it.

    ZAN - Hyper Line, Pellet Sizer, Pellets + more!!!

    Hyper line must be a powder coat with some type of dry lubricant added?

    This has been debated over and over, but wanted to get your opinion on the powder coating. Benefit for air guns? I know folks talk about less lead dust, etc... but that makes zero difference to me. Great looking little pills there, by the way!

    does powder coating slow big bore ammo down

    ...and be difficult to clean off. The rifling is designed to cut into the lead in on projectile, therefore your "resistance" is still lead, not powder coating. Typically you want about a thousandth of contact, so the powder coating alone would be counter intuitive to diameter consistency.

    Remember that they should still be sized correctly after powder or your results will be tainted.

    does powder coating slow big bore ammo down

    I've been running powder coated subsonic 30 and 35 cal bullets in powder burners for years. The bore stays remarkably clean, velocity I never did a side by side comparison. The bullets still engrave fine and the rifling is only there to cause enough grip to impart spin. Glock and fx have...

    1st time slug casting went very well and was fun too.

    Wow great job on first time casting!!!! Hollow points can be tough....I missed a few key details when i started casting..took me a lil bit to figure it out...Give powder coating a try....its pretty easy...it helps with leading for sure...

    Lubing Pellets

    I like using HBN powder for a lubricant I add some airsoft bb's to a ziplock baggie..then about 1/8 teaspoon of HBN and mix it up until all the bb's look white then add the pellets and tumble them around for a few until they have a been thoroughly coated, but not looking like they are heavily...
