Coated 9mm bullets?

[jonbearman]

Anybody the ones coated by powder coating and how fast can you run them? I was thinking 1000 fps or less or am I way off the beam. I cant find any info on the ones midway sent me. They are 124 grain hollow base hollow point bullets. I am trying 6.8 grains of AA-7. What do you guys think?

The coating does not really allow faster running, it just allows less lead wash in your bore. Stay with the safe and sane loads that your reloading manual/s call for.

I run coated bullets at 10mm velocity without leading. I wouldn't worry in a 9mm.

Should I be using cast lead loads or can you use slower jacketed loads?

I used regular jacketed/plated data for x-metaltargets 9mm bullets.
I only use the outside cause of the smoke.

For plated bullets I use lead data... Normally these bullets are over sized like lead... It doesn't take much to get them screaming hot...

I have punched coated 9mm bullets at 9mm Major speeds, no problems. As do many pistol competitors, I believe.

I have pushed coated 9mm 115s over 1,500 fps. No issues.
