We recommend that you use published lead load data from reputable sources. To help get you started with load data we have collected information from what we consider to be a reliable source for easy reference. We did NOT create or test the below information and offer it as only informational to give you a place to start. Your use and decision to follow the exact data is at your own risk.
A coated bullet will run slightly slower than a lead bullet (5FPS-10FPS). This is usually only going to matter to a shooter that is loading to a Power Factor for competition. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to send us an email at [email protected].
The bottom line with a coated round is to preserve the coating.
If you strip or damage the coating it may cause lead fouling in your barrel, increased smoke, and/or decreased accuracy.
There are several things to pay attention to while setting up your press and reloading such as your crimp and expansion. Once the press is set up correctly you will MOST LIKELY never have to adjust it again.
These coated rounds will work in bullet feeders, unlike lead rounds.
The perfect amount of crimp will hold the bullet in place but not affect the coating. The best way to check this is to pull a loaded bullet and examine the coating. You should see just a very slight impression (almost none) in the coating from the crimp.
When loading coated bullets, you should expand the case opening enough so that it does not cut the coating as the bullet is seated. To verify a correct amount of expansion, pull the bullet and examine the coating.
