I read through this and found a way yesterday that provided decent results, I ran 150 gr. Lee .315 spitzers, used Krylon paint . first, I heated the bullets on a sheet in front of a Mr. Heater (radiant) to around 150 degrees F then sprayed them, then returned them to that area for 2 hours to dry. The two test rifles Ill be using are a type 99 Arisaka, 7.7 loaded with 34 gr. of IMR 4895 w/ gas check. The reason Ill use this gun as it has a chrome lined barrel.and the fact that its reciever is almost indestructible in case something goes wrong.The barrel slugged on this gun @ .310. The second rifle is a Mosin Nagant with NO gas check,and loaded with 26 gr. IMR 4895.This barrel slugged at .309 .Observations showed that these bullets when pushed through a Lee .308 sizer ,sized much easier than an alox coated bullet from the same batch, and did not crack or wipe off.The bullets loaded in the cartridges were unsized,I just did it to test the coating. I will post results later today, after firing.Remember these are light loads.
