Hi Tek Coating

[laowho]

Hi Guys, Was @ Big Sky Cast Bullet site lookin at their money bullets and noticed they're transitioning to this coating, tho trad'l grease can still be had upon request. Also turns out that the buffalo hunter bullets I accidentally ordered way back (BHN 18) are Hi Tek coated (didn't know what it was til now). Has there been a thread about this? Anybody doin it? Pros vs. cons? Guess you were rite Don, and I should just go ahead and shoot them. Thanks, Doug

edit: Just went thru my threads and found that Kurt has warned against it for the depositing it leaves that is hard to get out. Thanks Kurt. At least we can still continue to get the grease option over @ Big Sky.

Some shoots, those coatings are banned.

Gonna melt these down and use sparingly as a hardener for some loads. Read that the coating just gathers @ the top for easy removal. Thx Lumpy.

Well this is one tough coating. The intact carcasses of coating floated like cockroaches in the pot. Read better at the site and the alloy is basically a Lyman #2, so definitely glad to have these little additive ingots. It mita been ok to just shoot them but I couldn't really see the point.
