Nylon 11 per se and other coatings are also disclosed. The coating minimizes or prevents deposition of lead along the barrel and other mechanisms of a firearm. To apply the coating, the bullet is initially degreased and heated to clean its surfaces. A phosphate coating is applied and the bullet is heated to a temperature of at least 425° F. The heated bullet is then disposed in blended molybdenum disulfide and Nylon 11 powder, Nylon 11 per se, or other coating materials to obtain a coating thickness within a range of 1-12 mils. The coated bullet is subsequently heated to at least 367° F. to fuse and to densify the coating on the bullet.Other References
