I have a CPA ordered. This will be my first experience with breech seating.

I have started using Hitek coating on most of my lead bullets. It seems like a great option for breech seating. I would guess a little case lube would make seating easier.

I do not know if it rules mandate a wax lube be used.

JLouis I'm putting you down for a "no" on coating.........

It has never worked for myself and a leaded barrel is not a very rewarding experience. And the right choice of lube plays a big part in achieving the very best in accuracy. I remember when using Moly was a big fade until they realized the more it was used the more the accuracy fell off. And to make matters even worse there was no way to get the moly back out of the bore.

I am not against anyone using it just throwing out some cautions to be aware of. Several years back I experimented with rolling bullets in Teflon and all though I didn't get any leading my accuracy decreased instead of increased. I stayed away from trying any Moly it already a bad reputation. I had a friend who dipped his bullets in  liquid Alox. I pan lube a 100 bullets at a time and I couldn't imagine having to dip a 100 each with no accuracy advantage.

I shoot Hitek bullets exclusively for USPSA (hand gun action shooting). It is very common at matches because the guns stay cleaner and never any leading.

I just received my CBS magazine today. I was looking through match descriptions and no one was coating bullets.

I follow a lot of threads on PC and Hitek coating. My experience is only with low velocity bullets. I have had great luck with 200+ rounds before cleaning and no accurracy loss. ( I'm generally  just shooting off hand so not a scientific result.)

This is not a fad. People are having great results with high velocity loads.

I mentioned using case lube to breech seat the bullet because I use it for sizing all my bullets now. It greatly reduces the force needed to resize. This has to be a good thing either nose up or down. I would think it would help breech seating if the amount of force to seat is reduced.

Just some of my observations. I will experiment and post the results good or bad.

I wonder if you used soft lead and hollow pointed coated bullets how they would be for hunting? After the two piece bullet discussion it’s got me thinking hunting bullets. 🤪

I have played with powder coated bullets in my 30BR with cast bullets and using my suppressor here at the house. Works great and for CBA Matches there allowed, keeps the noise level way down and cant use lube with suppressor. Cheap shooting , but still work to cast,then powder coat,then resize. For all my Schuetzen its pan lube  period. I can cast and lube 200 bullets alot quicker also.....
