PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Quote REVOLVER AND RIFLE AMMUNITION - May not be jacketed, semi-jacketed, plated, or gas checked. It must be all lead. Moly-Disulfide, polymer coated bullets, or equivalents are acceptable. SHB p.27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.R. - If I may be so bold to jump in. Here is a link to molly coating http://www.mssblog.com/2018/10/19/reloaders-corner-what-happened-to-moly-coated-bullets/ As you'll read it's an older process that never really caught on. Polymer coating is more common today, it's a baked on finish that comes in different colors, with red being very common. Here are 2 sites that sell coated bullets https://bulletsbyscarlett.com and http://www.bayoubullets.net I hope this answers your question. I personally prefer the coated bullets, I find them much cleaner than the lead bullets that I was using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooslow Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 Thanks tequila chase. I have been powder coating bullets for a while and most likely the way I will go. I'm already set up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Powder coating is another one of the hobbies I've picked up since starting CAS enjoy it as a stand-alone activity and do get a kick out of the various colors that you can get by mixing powders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choctaw Jack Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Moe, Don't be surprised if you can't get the black powder to stick.I've tried several methods of applying it and still don't get very good results.The red works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
