Re: 266 grain cast bullet, the Dolomite special
Nothing regarding the coating? Seems pretty bad to me.

Re: RUAG Swiss 300BLK
Looks pretty cool. I wonder what the expansion threshold is.

Re: 266 grain cast bullet, the Dolomite special
I am using the .312-308 NOE expander, I think I gave the wrong size in my first post.

Re: 266 grain cast bullet, the Dolomite special
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?

Re: 266 grain cast bullet, the Dolomite special
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?

Re: 266 grain cast bullet, the Dolomite special
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...
