i am sure you are right that they are too thick on the coat. chalk that up to my in experience, didn't recover any of the non gas checked, but both guns were pretty clean prior to me firing the 44special. I will do it again and catch the non gas checked ones. I didn't measure the brinel rating of the alloy, but can. have to think around lyman no 2. I do think i am going to reduce the load next time i load some up.
