PC = powder coat. You coat them in a powder then bake in the oven for a nice hard finish. -DallanC |

How do the PC'd bullets shoot? Do they leave a residue in the barrel? How do they measure up performance wise to the teflon coated bullets? |

My mate an I have experimented with cast bullets quite a bit, but we have taken a different tac...we went softer using LEE's ideas. |

Is the Powder Coating something you can do at home, or do you need to send the bullets out to be done? |

This may well be a solution to a problem I have been looking at for some time...the problem of hard cast bullets not performing or delivering accuracy as expected. |

I've wondered if the finish molds to the rifling or cracks and breaks up when a round is fired. |

I wonder, does the base of the bullet get a coating, or does it not matter? |

Those are some good looking bullets there res45. I'm looking forward to seeing how well the .45s expand. They could work well in the .45 Auto and the .45 Colt. If I ever get a chance to start casting my own I'd like to ask for some pointers. I think you're about an hour away. |
