I had good luck with 45 and 9, really revolutionized my cast bullet use. As we all know the Hornady gas checks are rather expensive and somewhat defeat the purpose of casting for rifles, so I decided to coat my x39 bullets.
These are wheelweight water dropped and normally gas checked, running about 1600fps. Today I fired 30+ through my CZ Carbine and surprise...no streaking or leading and accuracy seemed on par with the GC versions. Keep in mind these are still the usual Lee 155gc bullet, just powdercoated and no GC.
I'm thrilled! My next project is 37gr 4895 for my Garand. I was getting gas port leading but PC should prevent that.
