What COAL? I did 2.0

What powder do you plan on using?

Nothing regarding the coating? Seems pretty bad to me.

Looks pretty cool. I wonder what the expansion threshold is.

I am using the .312-308 NOE expander, I think I gave the wrong size in my first post.

This is my first experience with coated lead bullets, but this can’t be right. Definitely not “molecularly bonded”. You can see the flakes o...

But in my case we are only at 1022fps and you can see on the poster board so signs of shredding. A slight wobble with one shot and the second shot clean hole, no wobble.

Would slowing it down to 950fps make a difference?

Have you shot these bullets through a 1/5 before?

I understand the potential consequences of excessive centrifugal force on jacketed bullets, but how would that effect a coated lead bullet since there is no jacket to separate?

Did you test the adhesion of the coating by smashing the coated bullet with a hammer repeatedly? Another test is to use a rag with solvent on it and rub, rub, rub, to see if it comes off. The tests begin at the 11:30ish point, but of course you can watch the entire video. https://youtu.be/k6MoF8u4r...
