That's interesting. I like the idea of lower air pressure though. The price of just the gun and controller is $69, so it is not that much more than the HF gun.

I have what is supposed to be FMJ 55 gr bullets for my .223 and the tail is open so the lead is exposed to the gasses of combustion.

There are reports of people pushing powder coated bullets as fast as fmj bullets with no leading.

On Eastwoods web site, they showed a comparison of a normal painted piece of metal and a powder coated piece of metal in an impact test. The normal paint chipped away around the puncture point and the powder coating did not chip and was intact all the way to the hole of the puncture.
