I have not tried powder coating but i have tried paper patching. Since im solidly in the "less is more" camp, using liquid alox and trying to stand the bullets up to dry is all the adventure my patience can stand. Paper patching requires a lot of prep to make the papers not to mention a good technique to roll them. Since my goal was to shoot more and fiddle less, I quickly lost interest in paper patching 30cal. If i want to hunt with a 95 (and i do), ill use jacketed bullets. If i want to blast through 50 rounds, playing the "i wonder if i can hit that" game ill shoot cast for the cost of 10 jacketed rounds and no recoil.
Jr, keep us posted about how your loads work out. Would love to hear from you.
