    Both, im an equal opportunities employer😁 The idea of powder coating intrigues me but I've never had any coated projectiles to play with. Fundamentally it seems to me that it shouldn't work, it's a coat of paint over the bullet if that paint contained Teflon maybe but then how do you get it to stick? Obviously I'm missing something because enough people do use it successfully and make wonderfully colourful bullets. Mine are just plain silver grey but smell a little like bbq especially the mine where I fill the cavity.

    That pc stuff is unbelievably sticky. First bullets
    I baked I didn't use a silicone surface. Brand new Teflon pan ruined by two bullets that ripped the lining off.

    I've even recoated hi-tech bullets and it sticks fine
