this is absolutely fascinating to me. i read that the booolits are ~.002 larger. do they need sizing after powder coating? i can't wait to try this. this, and slicing my bread.

The ones I get from Bayou and SNS are sized the same as normal cast bullets, .001" over. The bullets are sized before coating in the process used by both companies. They get a good cleaning after sizing and before coating, the coating adheres to the base metal very well.
