Is anyone with serious expectations for accuracy and velocity using coated boolits routinely for competition or hunting?
Another question is if there are any coatings that can be cured by baking under 200 degrees? Beyond 200 degrees lead alloys lose their temper and undergo hardness changes which may be adverse.
Do the same requirements for hardness apply? Are gas checks necessary.
I have some experience with paper jacketing bullets, which seems to work in an analogous fashion (preventing lead steel-contact, sealing the bore, etc.). But paper jackets are very precise in their thickness and evenness. They have proven accuracy and velocity. They are also time consuming as all get out!
