[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3086301, member: 3099"] Used to work with a guy shooting 22 Hornet with cast bullets over 2600 and it was way before any powder coat or 2 part heat setting epoxy was even thought about for bullets. Max velocity is a function of bullet design, alloy, lube used, powder used, fit of the bullet to the throat and bore, and a few other things, twist rate being one like swampratt mentioned. A plain lead bullet can go just a fast as a jacketed in most calibers, it's just too much work to get it there. I contacted a bullet maker using the high tech coating and they said you'll never drive them fast enough to defeat that coating. No clue on powder coat. [/QUOTE]
