I have a 280 Ross rifle with a .287-.288" bore.
Woodleigh bullets would have been my choice, but then there was the fire and production halted.
Plan B is to powder coat .284" diameter bullets to result in .288" bullets to use in this rifle.
Two powder coat cycles and that was achieved.
I'm wondering how fast I can shoot these bullet. A 175 gr. at 2500 fps is easily achievable with the rifle.
Will the coating hold up or will it start depositing in the bore at velocities at or near 2500 fps.
Would moly coating the bullets be a method of mitigation if deposits are likely?
Your experiences would be most welcome.
