I have tried and tried to formulate something with the search feature, that might bring up an already posted discussion on the effects of gunpowder on the coating, but I found nothing pertaining to it.
I have seen it somewhere posted a few powders which "might" damage the base of a coated bullet, ie.- eating the coating off due to the solvent entrained in the powder.
I know there are some powders which WILL damage the hoppers on powder measures as well, with Bullseye being one of them and AA-7 as well, if left to sit for a while.
I guess my main issue is that I am not sure which powder to load with that I can be sure of the integrity of the coated bases of my boolits. If anyone has an idea I sure would love to hear it before I load up a big ol batch of 9mm, 10mm, 41 & 44 mags, 45 Colt and 45 ACP's.
I would love to know if anyone has experience with this issue and if so which powders might be the biggest culprit(s). I sure do hate to have to pour up little batches of powder and toss in a bullet with each coating on it then wait to see if it gets eaten off. That said, if that is the only way I guess it will have to do.
Is this a real issue that I should even be concerned with at all? My thought is not so much that it will, or might possibly, cause an issue with the bullet, but that it might cause an unfriendly reaction with the powder causing squibs or hangfires.
What to yall think?
