Hey guys,
first forum post I believe.
I have a question thats been bugging me...
I have heard, and thought myself, that a traditional gas check bullet design, powdercoated with no GC may cause bullets to lead more easily from gas blow-by. Yet there is few bullet molds that don't come with a GC design. I'm wondering if anyone has done empirical testing on mold designs that are flat base, powdercoated and shot it at rifle velocities without issue. It's ok if it hasn't been done, because my next step is to buy a cheap lee mold, mill off the GC area and do it myself. I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with this before I throw away 50 dollars. If not, happy to give it a go for "The cause" and report back in my 308.
