Home Forums Reloading Bullet Casting Better grouping with powder coating - short survey

I have only shot PC bullets. I compete in cast bullet benchrest, and have done fairly well. many tell me they can't make a PC bullet shoot well, and I can't see why. The advantages are many, the only down side is it takes a little more time. I treat my rifles the same as I do when shooting jacketed benchrest, I clean after every target. The condition of the barrel is amazing, after a whole season I have bore scoped them and there is no carbon buildup, no leading, no fire cracking, just clean steel.

If you take the time to work up a load properly, the PC bullets shoot as good/better than greased bullets. I do think many who try to PC bullets put too much coating on. Too thick and the bullet may very well be eccentric and out of balance.
