115 DTAC TBN COATED BULLETS w/nose ring *UPDATE*

[Bill Norris]

I've been shooting the 115g DTACs in 600/1000 yard benchrest competition for awhile and have been pleased. I've only used the non-boron coated version. A buddy decided to get out of the sport and I picked up a couple boxes of boron coated 115's from him. Any guidance on load differences you see between coated and non-coated?

The coated is the only one I tried so far. Normally with coated bullets the powder can be adjusted from uncoated charges.

I didn't really see a difference when I used HBN maybe a little but nothing crazy, in theory you should have to up your load a little to get back to your original non coated speed so load up 5 with your original Dtac load and run them over a crony.

Just got a chance to chrono this load last week. It is fairly slow for the AI @ 2948. Got a test loaded to move on up and see what it looks like. Will follow up once I get it done.

Thanks Bill

I figured there would not be too much difference between coated and non-coated. I was planning on doing a quick ladder to confirm the load. Sounds like going a few tenths higher would be in order.

Yea, work up slowly. Different rifles will act different with increased loads.
