So are you buying some commercial cast bullets and then you plan to, yourself, powder coat them? If so then you will also need to size them back down after powder coating to the diameter you want/need.

As to the size of boolit you need for your firearm, the common is .001 to .002 over groove diameter or to fill the throat.

[RobS]

Yes powder coating will add size or diameter to the boolit.

Min takes 311. I'd get the 310 and 309,310,311 sizers as you can't make the sizer smaller.

I would order 310 sized bullets .PC then size back down to either 310 or 311 .
Your gun will tell you which it likes

Has anyone seen the page on PC bullets on the dardas bullets site.Complete **** or not?

I'd order a couple of different sizes, PC them and then size...you can get the Lee push thru sisters for $20 each or less.

In my testing, one coat of Harbor Freight red shake & bake PC adds .0005

I guess I'm just plain lazy.My intent is to purchase already powder coated bullets and reload them,no resizeing.Problem is I cant find any Pc bullets in 30 cal for my marlin 336.

Try missouribullet.com, they're not PC but Hi-Tek coated instead. Several offerings in 30 cal and the prices are pretty good.
