I really like powder coating, but powder coat doesn't play well with bore riders. That extra .002" makes the nose too fat to chamber. Seating deeper isn't going to work with bore riders either because, to get the cartridge to chamber you's have to seat the (bore diameter) nose of the bullet inside the case neck. (this will not work) Loverin style bullets haven't been nearly as accurate in my rifles as bore riders, so you have to get creative to powder coat and use this style of bullet. It's extra work, but it makes extra results.
