The Hornady .45-cal gas check weighs 8.17 grains on average.
Call it 8 grains for GC and 2 grains for PC-Paint on the bigger bullets.
Sizing will apply the gas checks where needed.
Sizing will shine up the bearing surfaces of all of these bullets.

You are the master chef of powder coating! The more that I read on the powder coating, the more appealing it is.

What are you resizing with ?
I see some recommend the sizing dies in a single stage press.

I do not currently have a Lubri-Sizer or such. I am considering the single sizing dies. If I can find the correct sizes.
