A while back I cut a .460 dia. 350 gr wide flat nosed GC mold without grease groves
I have casted , powder coated and gas checked some out of soft lead alloy
Out of the BFR 45/70 they shoot well as a hunting bullet
But in my testing there was not much mushrooming at 100 yards
I know a bullet that large dose not really need to expand , but I would like as much energy transfer as possible
So I was thinking about cutting another mold with a HP pin
But I already made a swag die in .460 dia.
So I was thinking of swaging a wide HP into some of the bullets I already have made
I would just have to make a new nose punch
But I wondered if the already powder coated bullets would have any problems ?
As to bullet to bullet deviations cause by the powder coating ?
Your thoughts ?
Thanks
