    The proof is in the "Powder Coating Pudding"

    After much frustration to get a good load and cast bullet to shoot well out of a 9mm without mining my barrel i decided to try powder coating. Problem solved! Here is a target at 20 yards using 4.3 grains of Green Dot and a 124 grain RCBS powder coated bullet sized to .357 .Zero leading after 200 rounds,cycles great and accurate enough.

    Curious, Im gonna be powder coating for my 9mm. I have two molds that I will trying. a 117 grain .358" round nose with regular grease groove and a 124 grain with tumble grease grooves .356". I was going to mold some of each and PC them to try BUT, eventually I am going to remove the grease grooves AND going to swage a hollow base into at least one of them. Haven't gotten to it yet because I am stuck working on this confound 22lr reloading project. I am convinced that the hollow base will give me better accuracy and the lack of grease grooves will give me more bearing surface. I am very encouraged by the results you have gotten with no fouling.

    Damn, That looks like a good load. 9mm is about the hardest handgun round to get workout just perfect.

    Just me,but I just pulled 300 pc bullets and going back to Ben's Red for my lube.The pc bullets were etching my gun around the chamber and chamber.I was shooting red and black so I really don't know which was doing the etching. After thousands of rounds with Ben's Red I have never had any leading of any kind no etching,Thanks Ben for sharing.
