Bullet Test

[Terry]

Have any of you done bullet test that you care to share? I understand that what works in one barrel may not work in another. But there may be things that you have learned that could help others.

For the past two years I have been routinely moly-coating and pointing bullets prior to use. I decided to test a new bullet I had just received. I tested them out of the box, pointed, moly-coated, moly-coated and pointed. To my surprise the naked, out of the box bullets grouped best, followed by naked and pointed. I used powders and loads known to work well. This is not to say that with extensive tuning the others would not improve.

What is your experience?

What is your experience?

I think you are correct. That is to say, I think a slight change in tune occurred from being coated.
