    Lightbulb Well my Penn bullets arrived

    My Penn bullets have a baked poly carbonate purple stuff on them. 340gr .476 shooting out of my .480 Ruger SRH . Every time I shot, the bullets would put holes thru stuff,a bunch of times right next to each other. Shot one thru 6" of wood and most of the purple stuff was still on the purple bullet . So what do I do now ?

    you need to retrieve the spent boolits and reuse them until the coating is gone.
    if you are ever being chased by a taxidermist, don't play dead

    Get your own casting/coating setup and make your own.

    check with Smoke (vendor sales) He has a wide range of PC colors available.

    right now off to cast some bullets so I can try a new PC container.

    Are you considering this to be a problem?
