I can push a 270 gr cast lead bullet out of a Ruger Blackhawk in 45 Colt to 1200 fps and a 250 gr lead to 2150fps from a 358 Win with no leading and sub MOA groups. Ya, it's silly!
Which 250gr bullet are you using, and how do you like it? I use the Saeco 352, technically 245gr, in 35 Rem, and push it to 2150 as well from a 760 pump action. (not a safe lever gun load of course) I'll agree that particular load probably doesn't benefit as much from powder coating. The nice thing with the coating is that I can run the same bullet to 2700-2800 in the Whelen too.
