I've recently wandered into powder coating and have had decent results. Unfortunately there's still doesn't seem to be a plethora of load data for PC cast bullets.
I've just cast a few hundred 140 grain .358 SWC using a 358-140-SWC mold using Lyman #2 alloy. I plan on powder coating these (Eastwood's machine gray hot coat powder) but can't nail down a decent recipe with a powder that I discovered that I have.
A while back, a buddy of mine bought the supplies for me to reload some .460 S&W magnum for his revolver. He's not into reloading and purchased way too much powder (H110) and I discovered while rearranging my garage that I still have quite a bit of it. My buddy, who doesn't own the .460S&W anymore, told me to go ahead and use it.
I'd like to use this powder to load my pc'd 140gr SWC and I'd like it to be something that's considered not watered down but not necessarily pushing the envelope. They'll be fired out of a Ruger SP101 with 3" barrel and a S&W 686 with 6" barrel.
Does anyone have any experience with H110 and powder coated bullets? Got a recipe to share?
