I’m casting my own bullets (.45-70 350 gn @.458) and I’m wondering how much the powder coating will increase the bullet diameter before I size them.
Thank you

This is going to sound really flippant, but it depends on how thick you coat them.
I cast to throat size and then coat, leave a week and then size and lube.

When I powder coat for shooting a light coat usually gives 2-3 thou increase , So after casting I size then powder coat and then resize to final diameter.
Could I ask where you get your powder coating powder from?
Thanks
