Will powder coated projectiles affect the gunpowder in loaded rounds?
Specifically, asking for long term storage.

Some powders eat away at the PC. Like Titegroup but it takes a long time.
Stop being blinded by your own ignorance.
I do not PC, but will offer my opinion. It will be better than lubed bullets.
For SHTF I only trust jacketed bullets for LT storage. Decades of history shows jacketed bullets will not affect the reliability of ammunition. When it matters, why take any risk?

Even if the powder eats the PC it should only eat the bottom of the bullet which doesn't really need PC anyway.
PC is plastic, it will last millions of years in normal conditions.
I'm like Don. The only bullets I keep in 'storage' are jacketed.
I guess the question is how long you plan on storing your ammo?
At a couple of days away from 73 it isn't a big weight on my mind.
