Not sure if this will help you, but I've played a bit with surplus WC867 (new powder for Wideners). I've heard this is quite close to WC872, so it may apply to some degree...

Gave this coating material a try. Painted some lee 155 boolits (2 coats), put GC's on them and went to the range (50 yards). Main purpose was to see if there is any difference in different GC...

PC coating gives you a nice, harder than lead alloy shell, but it's only about .002" thick and does nothing (or very little, that is) to improve your boolit toughness.
