A few weeks back, Mrs. Bisley and I lodged with a Pastor who's desk was cleared, save for a copy of Firearms News. My late Dad was an FFL, so we began solving all the world's problems for a couple of hours. He shoots .50 BMG, but cannot find ammo for less that seven bucks a round. I showed him the SG Ammo online add, which had it linked in the 100-round can for a little over $400.00, shipped. Did my RCBS press accommodate .50 cal? I don't know, but go to Midway, or Ebay, and it should be easy to find one that does. We're both too busy to do that right now. And so on.
I mentioned casting as a way to ease one's personal shortage somewhat. Even for .50 cal., but it's a little time consuming. Lube vs. paper-patching to lube the bullets.
What about teflon spray, like they use to patch frying pans?
Well, Dad and I considered teflon tape once for .45-70, but it seemed too delicate for that application. The stuff tore off in handling. Lube or paper patch would be your best bet, but I am speculating as I don't shoot .50 BMG.
Well, that wasn't it, actually. And he's not thinking of doing anythiiiing, reaaaaaly. But can't he make AP ammo with the spray-on Teflon coating for frying pans?
*Sigh*

Ayoobean Postulate.

Teflon-coated, armor piercing bullets.
I thought the adults in the room had settled these questions by now.
