[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2981725, member: 15054"] On another forum I am on there are guys that powder coat and have gas checked after and it works great and they have installed gas check and then powder coated and it also worked great. I think that was even with cast bullets in .223 and running them past 2000 fps with no issues. The gas check is used to keep the bullet turning with the grooves in the bore. You push one too fast with too much pressure it will skid through the bore without turning and this will lead the barrel. Some think the gas check is to keep the bullet from melting.. that is not the case at all. I am wondering how fast I can send a bullet before it skids when it is powder coated. When my 45acp pushes one too fast it tumbles out of the bore and smacks the target sideways. I cast a few pounds of 45 and 357 bullets yesterday for powder coating. I will soon find my answer.
