Hi-tek bullet coating
I have been trying the hi-tek bullet coating and have got the hang of applying it.The hi-tek coating goes on with a lot less fuss than the powder coating.This is a .257 bullet for my condor.I can’t wait to see about the accuracy at a distance.

The hi-tech coating is a powder coat that is applied wet combined with acetone and dried in a convection oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.It is easier to use than powder coating and makes a more uniform coating than the powder coat.In airguns it mostly just keeps the barrel from leading.I saw a youTube vid of a guy shooting a coated bullet from a powder burner pistol and it was 30-50fps quicker coated than the lead slug.
Whats the advantage of this? I do seem to recall hearing something about powdercoating…. I assume the coating is done after sizing…. Do you undersize to accomodate for the coating?
Just curious in knowing how this works…

You don’t size them till after they are coated.It seals the pores in the lead if you size them first and the coating doesn’t adhere as good.
