I partially tooled up for traditional GG GC bullets. This included a used RCBS LAM II and a new toaster oven for heat treat control but no sizing dies, lube or GCs. The question before I finish tooling up and buying components is whether to move over to PC instead.
I am speaking of decent precision rifle capabilities mostly in levers, Handis, Lee Enfield as defined by scoped and iron sighted 2+ MOA rifles. The 1MOA jacketed precision will be the 223 CZ527 rifles. I decided not to pursue 22 caliber cast. My fingers don't allow it.
My pet peeve is not a nice peep sight 2.5 MOA group but nasty fliers. I have decided to use our forum on Tips, Tricks and Techniques as my long haul blueprint. Ric's book, Ian's series, and Ben's articles are an outstanding resource for internet mentoring a greenhorn to accomplished competitor, thanks gentlemen.
While waiting to get busy with casting Powder Coat took the casting world by storm. I've resolved toxicity concerns and like many of the features of PC bullets. However traditional cast size and lube methods really appeal to me too. The problem is there is a ton of testing of handgun PC but the ability to shoot accurately at rifle velocity is not as well documented.
What does this esteemed group say regarding these two choices? I can afford to chase one technique not both at this time.
