The original post wasn't meant to be anything other than a couple of photo's of signs
With cast lead bullets you will plug up the gas port, As to the powder coated Bullets, as long as the temp of the barrel is below the softening point of the powder coat material. It is claimed it isn't a problem. But some of the home done powder coating powders are too temperature sensitive and the temp's are lower than the factory coated. I think that the factory coated ones are using a high temperature powder coat powder. As others have tried assorted powders and have had problems. From it coating/fouling the barrels to colored haze coming from the barrels and coating glasses. I haven't tried to shoot either lead or the powder coated. As I have said elsewhere since I am only punching holes in paper at an indoor range. I will stick with the Berry's 300gr jacketed bullet.
Here are some u tubes video's
Powder coating
The main difference is that you have to seat the bullets deeper in the case. The coating adds dimension to the entire bullet but the bearing surface is sized back down, this leaves the ogive area that has to be seated deeper to clear the chamber and not stick as a cartridge will if it's too long.
