    I shoot a lot of powder coated at pistol velocities and pistol calibers in LA rifles at up to 1800 fps. Never noticed any more fouling of the bore, if anything its less than lubed cast. Plus there's no smoke from burned lube. Did a bit of lunch-time research with Mr Google, can't find anything really negative on-line. If someone else has contrary info please post.

    I have trouble keeping up with demand as it is with out making GC's and powder coating as well.
    Fair enough and that actually makes good sense, you only have to look at here for when whiny people complain that a free forum doesnt meet their expectations imagine if there were a couple of GC’s at the bottom of the bag!!!!!

Rather crude but competently effective... Another option would be a punch to cut discs, a cup with a punch in a sleeve. Fairly easy to set something up that works I would think???
    Would this work?
