Hello THR,
I am writing for a second time about a not so secret pet crow smashing round in development that is cheap and easily created, that being said this has only been developed with my rifle a Ruger American ranch in 5.56 which I am currently upgrading and trying to do my best recording what I see and posting hem here. If you haven't read my last post on this (appropriately titled with load data 1) then I recommend reading that first. I purchased a economy Caldwell chronograph and unfortunately it acted up during this session, it was blinking broken numbers at me like a prop computer in Star trek, so it was useless to me unfortunately so accuracy is the only thing I can post.
Basically I reloaded the same 3gr of Trailboss as mentioned before but tried powder coating them this time, I wrote a HELP post on here last night when powder coating they wouldn't stick but I had to get them done for a pest day with my vet buddy early this a.m (see pic...so bad) so this will be done properly and reposted for my pursuit in crow smashing glory.

Load data #2 was the same but poorly PC'ed I will revisit this
The best group I fired was 1.06"@50yds and had flyers so I like I stated I will have to revisit this later.
To be fair I had shot 50rnds of this same projectile without a gas check with 11gr of IMR4227 and that was too much and accuracy went to pot (@1,732fps) without recleaning the bore (no leading was observed later during cleaning btw).
I know this wasn't super interesting I failed to powder coat properly and be able to provide velocity data but there is a better comparison in the near future, I've recently bit the itch with a Boyd's stock that my Ranch so desperately needed and I will be able to compare the differences in accuracy before and after as well as other loads I've been working in which were both the vmax and the barnes ttsx I showed in my post on the experience so far with this rifle so keep an eye out.
