[QUOTE="DRC458, post: 2982282, member: 530"] Had the opportunity to compare the Hi-Tek coated bullets from Bayou Bullets today with swampratt's 'home grown powder coated' bullets. The powder coated bullets looked superior (thicker, more even coat) and they passed the "Smash Test" that Hi-Tek recommends conducting after you use their product on your own bullets, while the Hi-Tek bullets failed. One healthy smack with a hammer, and the Hi-Tek coating was flaking off. It didn't damage the powder coating. So, swampratt proceeded to give both bullets one or two more solid whacks with the hammer. The Hi-Tek coating was flaking off all over, while swampratt's powder coat was basically still 100% intact. I might have just gotten a bad run of bullets, but I think I'll give Bayou Bullets a call. Powder coating on the left ... Hi-Tek coating on the right ...
