Hi im new here. I have spent lots of time reading and educating myself. I have been reloading for a year now and just started casting. I actually only shot one cast bullet that was tumble lubed then heard about pc. I then washed the lube off all my bullets and started powder coating. That one i shot was 17 grains of 2400 not gas checked and shot good out of my enfield rifle.
It was unsized. As casted in my lee 185 gr rn mold . My bore sluged at .302 and.313. My bullets come cast at about .314.
My first run of pc in my enfield were bad as far as accuracy. I did 37 grains of 3031. lots of smoke that i dont get with jacketed. Jacketed that rifle does a 1/2 inch group at 50 yards same load data.
The powder coated at above data shoots about 4" from what im aiming at.
I have read some say that the mold i have isnt very good. Shoukd i try a gas check? Im trying to keep cost down.
Anyone shooting powdercoated bullets in an enfield ?
Any tips?
