Coated bullets

I started using powder coated polymer bullets about 2 yrs ago and never looked back. The Dillon stays cleaner and so do my hands (still use proper hygiene). Use them for all my IDPA loads (200 gr SWC for 45 and 147 gr for 9mm). If I shoot any lead rounds for practice in my ruger or glock (yea I know) I will shoot a mag of polymer through to clean out the barrel. I even got some 32 ACP plated bullets for my 1903 and savage, barrels stay nice and clean after shooting. The plated did not work well in my artillery luger. Not sure if they were to heavy, but it shoots much better with 115 gr plated bullets.
