Plated bullets?????????
« on: May 26, 2003, 08:26:10 PM »
If I roll a cannelure into a plated 158 Gr. FP bullet from Rainer Bullets will I have a problem of it shedding the jacket in the barrel? I'll be using it in a lever action. :wink:  :?

Technically since its a plated bullet there is no jacket to shed. I have found that plated bullets do not generally work well over 1100fps. as they tend to lead foul a barrel if you push them any faster. At least thats been my experience with them.  KN
