Literally the same as jacketed out of my Martini custom .25-35 WCF. The bullets are "Harbor Freight" red coated FNGC type. I have not noted any leading that I can see and accuracy is holding well. The strangest thing is absolutely no smoke upon firing compared to traditional lubed cast.

I think running a slower powder really helps with not over stressing the alloy too. There is something to that poly coating. Why "red" seems to stick better than other pigments is an odd thing.

Has powder coating totally eclipsed paper patching cast? - WB, 2019-10-23, 20:29
