One of my shooters is powder coating his cast bullets. He is wondering if that still counts as a cast bullet entry?

Depending on how you look at it.

Is a coating a jacket?
Is powder coating more of a jacket than moly coating or not a jacket at all.
Lube could even be considered a coating which could be considered a jacket?

I'll go look up the definition of a bullet jacket.

Hmmm.

Thank you

I vote cast.

I agree with Steve.

Cast. A jacket is a thin layer of metal surrounding a lead core.

Cast

Quick quiz
What do you call the bullet before it is powder coated? No hints please!!!!!
Powder coating is a non-metallic coating so cannot be considered "jacketed".
He started out with a cast bullet and there is no metallic coating so it is still a cast bullet even if it was store bought.
Also you don't see many bright red, green, yellow, white or many other colored jacketed bullets.

Thanks guys, I'll let him know.

Be well and shoot great.
