Ongoing experiment. I dedicated a prototype shop can to

lead loads and after 1500rnds it weighs slightly heavier so there is a buildup of fouling inside but still no effect on suppression that I can discern.

The solution to this I really wanted to embrace was powder coating; however, the 1000 I purchased left a buildup in the bore that was not visible to the naked eye (in fact, the bore looked perfectly clean) yet caused accuracy to vanish. A borescope showed something in the corners of the lands and grooves. The only way I could remove it was by using a Foul-Out machine - and the machine and the solution it uses are both discontinued.

This was several years ago. I still want to like powder coating, particularly for use in cans, so I will eventually set up to make my own PC bullets so I can trial different coatings.
