I cast Lee 158 grain tumble lube in .358" and Lee 200 grain in .452". I tumble lube them in a 45 45 10 lube mix. the 45 acp bullets are loaded to about 780 fps for target shooting. The 158 grain are fired from my Henry Big Boy rifle. I just purchased 50lbs of Lyman #2 and want to know if I can push them to 1300 fps? Will powder coating allow this speed (the pressure generated to push bullets to that speed)?
What are your thoughts on 45 45 10 tumble lube - vs - Powder Coating?
My 45 ACP bullets will only get powder coated if I think that the colors look cool but I want the .358" to be loaded to the low end of 357 mag.
Thanks
