    Powder coating added thickness?

    How much does powder coating add to the diameter of the bullet

    My ASBB application of HF Red adds just over 0.001" or so. It is hard to be precise with post coating measurements as the surface is not real smooth.

    I often get around .002" or even a little less with HF red, shake and bake.

    Another Smoke's PC user here. They are .002-.003 bigger using Shake-n-Bake but once I size 'em they're the same as traditionally lubed boolits.
