"The primary purpose of the coating is to eliminate the need for the smokey traditional wax lubricants.
Traditional lead bullets are inherently accurate due to the land/groove contact with the barrel.
We don't want to change the function of the lead to actually seal the lands and grooves with the coating doing the sealing. We want to lubricate the lead as it travels down the barrel.
We have performed thousands of hours of testing thru Six Sigma Design of Experiments to develop a coating at the optimal thickness to maximize adhesion of the coating to the lead and durability of the coating."
"Recommended: https://www.blackbulletsinternational.com/loading-basics.html
1. We recommend separate seating and crimping dies. Combo dies can be used as long as it is verified that the coating is not damaged in the process. Pull a bullet to check coating integrity.
2. The Lee FCD (Factory Crimp Die) can be used but with caution. Improper setup of the FCD can produce an excessive crimp and/or actually undersize the bullet. Many have used with success but with detailed attention to proper setup.
Loading Tips:
Main Objective is to make sure the coating is not shaved as the bullet is inserted into the case or the bullet leaves the case. Therefore we need to pay close attention to Bell & Crimp.
Bell: You will need to put enough bell so that no coating is shaved in the seating station. However don't over bell as it will cause issues with a "bump" in the brass as you crimp.
Crimp: Black bullets don't need much crimp at all. A taper crimp is the preferred method. The recommended practice is (with a cartridge ready to be crimped in the shell-holder):
1. Back the crimp die out so that it wont do anything.
2. Raise the ram with the cartridge in the shell-holder.
3. Rotate the crimp die until it touches the cartridge and give it an additional 1/8 of a turn.
4. Check the cartridge with a case gauge.
5. If it does not pass the gauge - reinsert and add an additional 1/8 of a turn.
6. Continue this process until it passes the case gauge but add another 1/8 of a turn to deal with case variation."

Traditional lead bullets are inherently accurate due to the land/groove contact with the barrel.
1) The wax lube creates smoke under the pressure and temperature of the ammunition being fired.
2) The wax lube also has a tendency to be very messy in the reloading process and will potentially build up in the reloading dies.
The coatings primary design is to eliminate these 2 issues.
We have performed thousands of hours of testing thru Six Sigma Design of Experiments to develop a coating at the optimal thickness to maximize adhesion of the coating to the lead and durability of the coating."
