I love powder coat and shoot it for most of my boolits.
But I've had some feeding problems with some rounds in AR platform guns. So, I'm attempting a test at Hi-Tek since it is a thinner coating.
The rifles I use PC with and have had some intermittent issues with are 300 BO and 350 legend.
I have started my experiment with the 350 legend and cast about 500 accurate 36-180LGs and Hi-Tek'd about 250 of them. I'm going to use virgin brass and see if I can get 250 rounds with no Jams. Right now, I'm getting a jam in the 50-100 round range. These mainly have to do with boogers from the PC getting held up on a lands and not going 100% into battery.
One thing to note - on the 350 legend, I found I get better feeding in general with a lighter spring (Yellow springco spring). With 300 BO I found that I get the Nemo spring to function/cycle properly.
The hi-tek coating seems to be a little thinner and certainly survives the smash test...
Does anyone hi-tek boolits for the AR platform?
