New to coated bullets and was wondering what you all think about Missouri Bullet Hi-Tek 2-Extreme Coating ? Thinking about some 357 magnum bullets and also was wondering if it’s ok in older handguns.

Works great for me, shot about 20,000 bullets from them. 38 match Hi-Tek no lube grove is a very good target bullet.
I’ve used MBC hiTek bullets in 45-70 and 30-30. I really like them. Get them sized right to shoot good. Too small and you may be disappointed with any ones coated bullets.
Never trade luck for skill.
Yup, got to be sized properly. Buy over-sized and do it yourself if needed. May need some sizer lube though, most are hard-cast (high BHN). Quality of the 'white-tail 170s' I got shot good from my marlin.
Whatever!
Thanks for all the replies. I have used MBC before but never the coated ones.
Just make sure with Hi-Tek you use a good flair on the case.
It is an OK coating that is popular, but not as good as the epoxy goop Blue Bullets uses.
I've shot a lot of 9mm, 40sw and 44mag that is Hitek coated from MBC and Brazos. It is more convenient than alox, but not as good.
Just my experiences, YMMV.
