Boy I would not get anymore of those. I haven't done a lot of powder coating but enough to learn a properly coated bullet doe's not lead the barrel! I cast my bullets and size them. Then powder coat and re-size them. I don't think the second sizing is really necessary but I figure the PC does make the bullet a bit bigger around. I do that with handgun and rifle bullet's and no leading at all.

Thinking more about this, I'd guess alox tumble lubed would work. But, before I did that I'd run those bullet's through a sizer. Doesn't look to me like they were sized before or after coating.
