So a while back I bought some 123 gr .309 powder coated boolits from Lucky 13 as they had free shipping and a discount. I wanted to try them out in my 300 BLK.
So I loaded up a few 10 packs for testing using various powders, went out to test them and I had a round loaded with the Lee 155 2R pop a primer, locked the bolt back and brought the day to an end.
A couple weeks later I went to go back out after figgering out what happened and I found I'd forgot to put the charge of Lil Gun that I used on one of the 10 packs. So I pulled them to load again right. I discovered the base of the boolits had Lil' Gun stuck hard to the powder coat. I rubbed it off and the powder coat came off like chewing gum!
So I called Lucky 13 and he said he'd never heard of such and said he'd check it out. Says he uses standard stuff from Powder By The Pound. The Zombie 13 boolits coating is kind of thin looking and have a matte finish.
So I was chatting with the guys on Marlin Owners and the topic generated a lot of interest as to whether Lil' Gun has any kind of potent solvents - so I agreed to run a test. I had some OD Green powder coat from PBTP on some 158gr SWC 38 SPC boolits. I put one of each in the two "aromatic" powders I use - Lil' Gun and 1680.
After one week in a hot Texas garage the Lil' Gun has again attacked the Zombie 13 boolits and somewhat on my glossy OD green boolit (two boolits on left). There was more sticking when I pulled it out but came off when I rubbed it to see how gooey the coating was. It wasn't gooey like the Zombie 13 but it was more "rubbery" feeling. The two boolits on the right were in 1680 had no effect.
Any of y'all have anything like this happen?
