    Question 11 degree forcing cone for powder coated bullets?

    Well I'm kicking around the idea of putting a 11 degree cut on my revolvers since I like shooting cast boolits. But does this still apply in a positive way for powder coated boolits or just traditional lubed lead boolits?

    Or opinions on fire lapping?

    I just want to make sure I have as much accuracy as possible.

    True accuracy comes from a software upgrade.

    It works just fine with powder coated boolits. Even powder coat is much softer and less rigid than copper or brass jacketed bullets and responds nicely to the eleven degree forcing cone angle. The best part is, it doesn't hurt the accuracy of jacketed in any way.
