And how do you expect this to effect the function and accuracy of the bullet? Or were you just bored?

function was may add a little more durability.

accuracy wise, don't know, been a long time since I done any amount of shooting with factory made bullets even longer with powerbelts. those where loose in my range box at the bottom.

that is not a bad idea. some small brass hooks. christmas themed pictures.

I personally would not put ANYTHING like that down the barrel of any of my muzzys!

Me either!
The only red I'll accept is blood from a recovered bullet inside one of my harvested deer or rabbit.

Durability? They only are used once. I suspect that powder coating won't do your rifling any good and may be very difficult to clean out of the barrel. Fishing sinkers perhaps would be a good use.
