just need to be enlightened a bit
when shooting casts through a revolver, after casting ones bullets, and sizing them to the appropriate diam , you push them through the cylinder, and they need to be sized to the point where they can be snugly be pushed through the revolver cylinders. How ever after powder coating or hi tek coating the same cast bullet will no longer be able to be pushed through the cylinders
So my question is, do you just make sure the uncoated sized cast bullet can snugly be pushed through, or does the coated bullet have to be able to be pushed through.
regards
Daniel

You want your bullets to be .001" larger than bore size when they enter the rifling, so just make sure your chamber throats are at least as big as your bullets so they don't get squeezed down going through the cylinder.

If you powder coated them good you can still resize them to just push through the cylinder throats. With PC bullets you don't want the really over size you need.

I just size them to the proper dia. for the caliber. Or slightly bigger 358 for 357 ect.

I just never worried about throat dia.

Maybe I should have. But I have cast and shot many 10's of thousands of them.
