I ran two bullets through my barrel yesterday evening with a dowel to see how they came out. Been having terrible luck with leading.
They both had exposed lead where the rifling cut into them. Hammer test seemed fine. No lost coating.
I'm curious if the coating did not cook long enough to cure. Baked at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. in a toaster oven. Confirmed stable temp with thermometer before cooking.
I'll post pictures this evening.
Backstory: I've been trying to get successful at PC bullets for a while now. 9mm (I've read its the problem child). Bore diameter is .3555. Mold drops .358s I coat and size to .357.
Ordering a 38s&w expander to ensure the bullets arent getting swaged during seating as well.
Any other thing I might be missing?
