Greetings gentlemen.
I’m new to this site and was referred to it by friends from the Shiloh Rifle forum.
I’ve been casting a long time for BPCR’s (Sharps and Rolling block).
I got into suppressors last year and I’m an addict now.
I came to this site because I have questions on powder coating.
My current project is to build a 45/70 MGM barreled encore that I can shoot suppressed subsonic cast bullets in the 500-550 grain weight range.
I already have some moulds that I use for my Sharps that drop 525 grain bullets in 30/1 lead/tin alloy.
Could I powder coat the same bullets in 30/1 and drive them with a powder like trail boss without leading my barrel?
Would I have to step up to a harder alloy to make this work? I’m think the 30/1 alloy bullets would get destroyed if I shook them in a tub with powder. They’re very soft.
