Hey all - first, this forum is absolutely amazing. I believe it's the friendliest and most helpful gun forum online - possibly forum period. I deeply appreciate all the help I've received.
A buddy of mine opened my eyes tonight to the wonder of powdercoating bullets. Well, my little mind just started a-spinning...I love to cast, and I love to shoot suppressed, but these two things have been mutually exclusive to this point due to buildup in the suppressors.
BUT...powdercoating eliminates lead buildup in suppressors!! I'm reading through the truly massive powdercoating thread, but perhaps some of you would be kind enough to help me out with a few basic questions that are of tremendous interest to me.
Is there a boolit design that feeds in an AR-10? (LR-308 to be exact) It seems that if powdercoating does what I think it might that boolits could be driven faster without fear of leading...I know a FM(jword) is likely the easiest bullet shape for a semi-auto to chamber; is there a boolit design that feeds well? Powdercoating is pretty substantive stuff and pretty slick, so it seems pretty plausible that if somebody could come up with a reasonably tapered design this could work pretty well.
Sorry for the explosion of questions...it just seems too good to be true that I may finally have found a way to shoot .308 (and possibly even .338 Spectre ) economically!! If so, Christmas just arrived for this guy.
Thanks so much for the insight, guys.
