I have no interest in powder coating or any coating of cast bullets as I'm still working with (successfully) standard and tumble lubes. Coating bullets has seemed to dominate the Lube section for a quite a while now and perhaps a section for coating bullets is called for. Whadda ya think mods?

Ignore the threads.
Yep, just ignore them until you need them. They are in the right place.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
Works for me where it is.
Whatever!
We already have too many subsections. No more required.
Personally I keep waiting to see a thread titled 2800FPS with a painted boolit.....still waiting with baited breath.

There will be some reports from users in the US very shortly. I gave up shooting lead in rifles years ago. didn't have time to cast rifle stuff. to busy casting for pistols.
Hooroo.

Seriously? Do I detect some sarcasm?
Thank you for your candid opinions/responses, but yes I can read and being able to read I skip over the "coating" threads. For you fellers so quick to judge, and expect complaints rather than constructive suggestions, I figgered those that were interested in coating would be better served by a sub-section devoted to their interests only. Personally, I figger we got way too many sub-sections right now, hell, only one is needed so everyone can sift through all the casting, lube, swaging, powder, lead, and equipment threads to find the ones they have interest in. Only need "Casting" with a sub-section of "Other".

I've got no chronograph but I've shot a 100g plain base over 35g of Varget in a 30/30 contender with zero fouling. That oughta be pretty close.
NO SARCASM.......If I am missing out on something I wanna know about it. Most "boolit painters" seem geared towards pistols.......I was merely wanting MORE info. A write up about full velocity with painted boolits in rifles would quite tickle me.
To the Englishman and the Aussie.....color me clueless as to what you said....hard to believe we all speak the same language..........
357 Maximum, I have shot my 30-06 to 2,550 fps so far with the Hi-Tek coating. Tomorrow I'm loading the 30-06 with different boolits and also some 22 cal boolits in my Contender. I have shot wax based lubed boolits in my 22 K-Hornet at 3,000 fps already so I think 2,800 fps is doable. Hope to go to the range Thursday.
For the record I am in no way english, I am Scottish.

People say that is why I am tight with money and also arrogant, rude and obnoxious.. Must be the German side of the family coming to the fore...
