It should work. My experience is that a single coat of Harbor Freight Red increases diameter by about .001".
Have you tried shooting them without coating? They might shoot well that way.
vern, i did try them as is and they do shoot. but group is 2-3 inches at 50 yds.
i loaded some shells with 52 grn. v-max and got 1" to 3/4 " groups.
be nice to find a mould for 50 grn gas check.
You might just list them for trade to someone who has a .223 grooved hornet.
