I didn't mean to call anybody names, I certainly could have used better terms for some dunderheads that believe what ever myth happens to be floating around. Apologies if I offended anyone.
It seems whenever a new technique or basic change comes around, there's always detractors to be suspicious about it. A wild claim that the polymers that are bonded to the surface of a bare lead bullet are somehow abrasive is just plain dumb. We are surrounded by high tech polymers in our modern lives. For the most part they serve a purpose well being able to mold precise parts for darn near anything. Unless they include chunks of grit to make them slip resistant, they are not abrasive.
Powder coated bullets are a boon to us as loaders. They stop lube on/in the lube grooves from smoking when they partially burn during the firing process. They're slippery, so much so that I can no longer put 9 mm rounds nose up it a shell box. They're nigh on impossible to get ahold of to load a magazine. That's pretty slick!
Some are loading rifle bullets up to 23-2400 fps with decent accuracy and no leading. The upper velocity limit is more of a structural concern, the bullet slumps because of pressure, harder lead is needed. It is NOT because of leading, or how abrasive it ISN'T.
