Anybody using Falcoated boolits?

[musicman]

I'm about done with traditional lead for most of my loads. Too smoky in my .40 IDPA loads... one stage was in a "hallway"... I neutralized two threats, then had to wait a couple seconds to be able to see the third and continue.

I've got lots of plated stuff on hand, but am thinking about trying the Falcoated stuff. Since they are doing pink for breast cancer, I may take this opportunity to make up a bunch of ammo for wifey in 38/357 and 9 as well. She loves cutesy stuff and will go crazy over having her own pink ammo!

So, anybody who has used the coated Falcons, whaddya think? Experiences, advantages, disadvantages? Any problem using standard lead data?

Less smokey than lead but still not as clear as plated or jacketed in my opinion.

You ever think of powder coat, colors are all over the rainbow.

The ones on the right are 40S&W, no smoke or lead.

You don't even need to cast your own to powder coat. Most sellers of cast bullets will sell their bullets without lube.

Yep that is my method. I have coated over lube a couple of times, doesn't look quite as good but seems to work the same.

I use Falcoated and plain lead from Falcon.  I'm too lazy to cast myself.  The falcoated doesn't smoke much at all with my loads (9mm @140 PF and 40 @ 130ish).
