Besides for picking a bullet for the weight or particular mold you wanted, is there any difference between major HiTek coated bullet manufacturers? I have been perusing the older threads about barrel wear, fouling from the coating, accuracy due to non uniform coating, and funny smell. So far, it looks like buying from established manufacturers who aren't "hurrying" to fill orders is the wisest path, assuming you don't want to master the process yourself.
I am happy to pay someone else to powder and bake them. Am I good to go ordering from Missouri, Bayou, Acme or others? Have there been any recent tales of quality issues? I am thinking about ordering some trial packs, but of course the first 100 bullets doesn't "guarantee" that the next box of 3000 won't have any quality issues. I am a little hesitant to start sending those through my revolver barrels if cleanup becomes an issue. Lead I know how to get out, not an issue, but some people's tales of woe regarding poor powder coating make me hesitate to start flinging them down any gun without an easily replaceable barrel. My M&P, haha no problem.
