[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1815017, member: 2736"] I have tried almost every bullet coating known to man and found them to be a lot of trouble for no gain. The minute a cartridge is fired the case and neck expands before the bullet is clear of the case mouth. If you look at a fired case, the neck will have some blackening from the powder on the very end of the neck, the rest of the neck will look like the rest of the case unless something is wrong with the load. If it stuck, the neck and some of the shoulder would be blackened. I see the term bullet weld used all the time and the bullet cant weld it's self to the case. It may get stuck from time. but it cant effect the velocity in a negative way but potentially improve the ignition like crimping into a cannelure. The negative I found with coatings was that they build build up in the barrel over time and make it hard to clean it back to white metal (No fouling of any kind). These were just My observations and the reason I believe in a clean bullet and neck/case for consistency J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
