Here is one recovered from a bowling pin. MP molds 359-640, 170 gr at about 800+ fps at a bowling pin at 25 feet. It is smokes PC and I actually messed up this batch, dumped the bullets too hot and the powder coat stuck and tore off. Cooled them down, recoated and re cooked. Seems to have worked out fine.
I’ve got some, I’ll take some pictures tonight

That flattened 12 gauge round ball had first traveled in some snow,then hit a rock at 75 meters. A rifled 870 barrel, 1500 fps muzzle velocity.
Double PC seems to hold good.
So, it looks like the lead of the bullet does not touch the barrel, and the powder coating at the base of the bullet does not get blasted off by the powder charge.
Correct,thats why we powder coat!

That’s the way it is supposed to work and what makes it so popular. There can be problems if the boolits didn’t get coated enough or weren’t baked enough. If you really want to get up I velocities, make sure the alloy hardness is up for it. PC lets you get away with softer lead, but there is a limit.
