I shoot suppressed. Just wondering what's the before & after weight & velocity readings readings of various coatings.
For instance a 147 grain bullet goes to 156 grains after powder coating and 150 after HI-TEK. 140 grain is subsonic before powder coating but speeds up when it's coated. I'm making those number up of course but I'm curious how all this stuff impacts weight and velocity.

Here's a thread on powder coating which talks about bullets going faster:
