While powder coating increases the bullet's diameter, it also increases the size at the ogive where the bullet contacts the leade.
This can cause some problems in snugly chambered firearms.
Mil-surps and common hunting type rifles are less likely to have it.
Switching to a clear powder for rifles eased this problem for me, since without pigment the coating is thinner.
NOE makes a nose tapering die for their sizing system, but I wasn't comfortable with it.
I have a couple of snugly chambered handguns, and I ordered throating reamers in .38/9 mm and .45.
The 9 mm. was back ordered and arrived first. I'm still waiting on the .45.
I used the reamer on a Dlask 9 mm. barrel and removed a whisker or two so the rounds would drop in and out of the chamber freely.
It was a very simple procedure and I tried the pistol this afternoon and everything worked very well.
So if anyone in the Sudbury area wants to relieve their throats a bit, give a holler and come on over.
