I am working up a load to use in the Marlin 47/70 rifle for deer
Right now working with a all stick on WW alloy and the NOE 460 405 gr RF GC mold
I know the stick on WW are not pure , but still a soft alloy
I have found the Powder Coated bullets loads are grouping around 2" at 100 yards , more than good enough for the 75 - 100 yard Max area I normaly hunt
But I was wondering how much the Powder Coat over the nose reduces the amount the bullet will expand ?
I am thinking if it is a lot , to work up a way of stopping the powder coat part way up the nose
Thanks
John
