BB, can’t help you with the powder coat, but I have 2 LBT molds ordered from Veral Smith, and they are outstanding. One is a 44 cal 260 gr. WFN plain base that I shoot out of my 44 spl, the other is a 10mm 180 gr. WFN. Both cast beautifully, with almost no break in, and are extremely accurate with the right loads. I push the 44 bullet at about 900, and the 10mm to 1250 with LBT lube with no leading issues.

Hope this helps,
