Hi Rocky :wave: :wave: :wave:
Sorry Rocky but I need to correct your math. The way you show it ($0.675) you are paying 67.5 cents per round. Which is VERY expensive. In reality ($0.0675) you are paying 6.75 cents per round which is VERY cheap. I pay just under 10 cents per round from Montana Gold Bullet. Which is a great price but when I finally run out I will be ordering some of these. Now we need a range report. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
My mail lady is not happy with me when I order 60 - 70 pound boxes of bullets. At least she can manage to get the box into my mailbox. Before her my mail man was a very small stature man and he needed help with the box.

I think inspector and rocky needs to return to 8th grade
>the cost of the BULLETS are 6.575 cents each, not 6.75 cents
>the cost of the ROUNDS would be about 13.5 cents each, with typical powder and primer cost factored in.
now you 2 kids go sit in the corner :rofl:
and remind me not to buy a house from inspector :rofl:

Rocky...did you buy these because of those special upcoming shooting events?

$0.675 WAS A TYPO ON MY PART :oops:
$0.06575 IS THE COST OF BULLETS INCLUDING SHIPPING
SO ACTUALLY, THE "COST OF BULLETS" IS $0.0620
>the cost of the ROUNDS would be about 13.5 cents each, with typical powder and primer cost factored in.
I FIGURE MY ROUND'S COST'S $0.100 EA (Federal Primer, 4 gr TiteGroup)
now you 2 kids go sit in the corner :rofl:
NO ! :grrr:

YES :-*

Those look interesting. Would you use lead round nose load data to load them?

The coated shoot faster with less powder, are way cleaner than lead, and has less smoke..

Actually, not so much.
I chrono'd some.
Out of the box 124gr chrono'd at 946 fps
reloaded 125's were 940.
Can't get better than that.
Others I tested (lipstick) were the norm +/- 10fps
115grns were 1150ish
124's around 950
out of the box 147's were around 900 but I did not chrono any 147 lipstick

Was that comparable lead projectiles?

Nope, FMJ's
If I remember correctly, one test with 124gr was hp's :wacko:

I was wondering about the slickness of the coating.
If it is just a plastic coat with no lubricating properties, then there wouldn't be a big difference in speed from a jacketed or plated bullet.
That's why I wanted Rocky to review those red rockets, because I knew he would chrono them.
Lubed lead bullets definitely shoot faster than jacketed, all things being equal.
-
I shoot pretty much only factory FMJ. I've seen many people have gone to these coated boolits in competition, but I never got around to asking them why. Mostly because I have no intention of rolling my own any time soon. I assume it had to do with performance, but cost would be an important consideration as well.
I have another group that I shoot with that is going to require either lead or poly coated boolits when we shoot steel. So I have some polycoated factory ammo on order. So will be interesting to see when that ammo comes in.

The reason why I started making these is they are required for upcoming CQ type drills because there is less splatter on the steel.

Well, you have to be able to hit the steel to have splatter. . .
Kidding, kidding. . . ;D

Sorry for the miscommunication. I was meaning they shoot faster than their lead counterparts.

They are faster than their lead counterparts. Since they are just lead, they need lead load data, jacketed can be pushed faster.
The coating may have a little more friction, causing more speed with less powder. No problems whatsoever with coating coming off in the barrel at target lead velocity.
Gun and barrel stay much cleaner, and cleaning is easier, because you are only having to deal with whatever powder residue. Less smoke, since there is no burning lube.
Only thing is it has a funny smell when shooting. Better than extra smoke and lube though, IMHO

The poly coated smells funny? I guess I never really noticed. I recall when some guys were shooting lead .300 BLK, that smelled funny and I assumed it was because of the lube.
