SNS Casting has/in the process of adding coated bullets to their line up. They are using the same material to coat them as Bayou Bullets and have gone with a gold color
These are .40s&w 175gr .401 bullets
I am going to be loading these up and doing some comparison between Precision Bullets moly coat, Rainier plated, and Montana Gold fmj's.
The first thing I like about SNS casting bullets is the packing, best in the business at packing in shipping you bullets. But they are also very consistent when it comes to bullet weight. I calibrated the scale and weighed out five of each of the above bullets
Calibrated the scale. Weighed out 5 of each: rainier average 165.10 spread of .7,
mg's 164.74 with .2 spread,
precision moly coat 171.96 with a .8,
and sns coated 175.8 with .4 spread.
Going to load up all the bullets using the same powder that I use for my competition loads, Titegroup. I use 5.2grain load for 165gr bullet, I use the same load for the 170gr precision moly coat, and will back it down to 5.0 for the 175gr SNS casting. Should be around a 167-169 power factor, but will get some chrono readings on them as well.
Planning on getting some video to compare the smoke and accuracy of all the bullets and will post here.
