I thought I read once, possibly in Keith's book, that when you try to push soft lead to magnum velocities in magnum revolvers, the force of the expanding gas, can push out the rear of the bullet to a larger diameter as it's starting into the forcing cone, increasing pressures.
Has anyone heard of this ?
I'm powder coating everything these days, but not sure that would make a difference.
What about soft, almost pure lead, powder coated with a gas-check ?

Edited to add - I typically mix in some ROTOMETALS Super Hard Alloy Ingot (30%-Antimony,-70%-Lead), but wondering if I can get by without.
