[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3085916, member: 15054"] I read others that no longer gas check the bullet but they do powder coat now and send them at the same gas checked speeds. I personally have not yet . Fastest one so far was 220gr 30 cal out of the 308 boat tail powder coated at 1400fps. That is a lee bullet and a failure in bullet design. It needs more surface area that is .309" or larger.. as it wants to keyhole at any speed. If it was my mold i would take a drill to it or lap a bullet in it to enlarge the diameter. [/QUOTE]
