I powder coat only for my .45 ACP, .308 Tikka, & 7.62x54R using just clip-on wheel weights. That does not mean that I have given up on lubing, I just delved into another area for a while.
I get funny looks at the gun range when the range officers inspect my ammo and I have to explain what it is.
I've had good groups at 50 & 100 yards, meaning kill shots in minute of deer and hogs, but still working on trying to get them better. I do not worry about speed, but more on accuracy. Once I settle on the best accuracy of the powder used, I'll chronograph it for record only. Then I'll probably try a different powder to try to better it.
It's a labor of love, and I'm loving it.
