I have powder coated with some success and some failure, and here's what I experienced. Not saying it is holy writ, just findings that I was able to duplicate for me so, take it for what it's worth.
1. The type of powder mattered to me. Harbor Freight red did not work. Poor coverage. I tried it several times. Maybe it's the humidity of south Florida- but I've heard from folks in Louisiana that it works for. Smoke's powder over at the Cast Boolits forum works well. I get much better coverage and can pick 20-30 out before I have to re-shake.
2. Even better coverage if I warm the bullets a bit by putting them in a metal coffee can on top of the toaster oven. Not hot, just warm.
3. In my 9mm HKs, hardness matters. If I used straight range scrap (tested with an xrf gun at 99.1% PB, .9%SB) + ~2% SN added, I got a build up in the grooves. Will that happen in a Glock? Don't know. It didn't really look like leading, but some sort of residue that was hard to remove. Going to 2.5% SB and giving them a month to age made that go away last I tried it. Should be able to report back if I make it out this weekend as I have about 200 to shoot up.
4. I did a comparison with a Lee 358-125 RF in 9mm with Power Pistol comparing 10 round load workup in five different charge weight with only variable being PC vs traditional lube. Average velocities were pretty much the same, but I got better accuracy with Ben's Red(homemade, traditional lube). Again, my gun, that bullet, that powder, that day. But no leading.
5. It's kind of a pain to pick them out of the tub(I use the Dry tumble, air soft BB method), but it does work. For me and my gun, it just didn't seem to work as well as traditional lube.
6. I've not had good luck with Hi-tek coating in 9mm. 38 SPL worked, but not so much in 9mm.
So, why am I giving it another shot? Because I picked up a 9mm PCC and a suppressor and I'd like to have one load for all and I don't want to run traditional lube through a suppressor.
