With S335 you should be able to go to a pretty low load.  Use a filler if you need to go below 15 gn (+/- 60% case fill).  This applies to S335 only, not any other powder.]]> Reloading Methodology 223 https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/silver-rapids-223-powder-coated-bullets/paged/4/#post-2040 https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/silver-rapids-223-powder-coated-bullets/paged/4/#post-2039 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 23:58:13 +0000
I will do last test shooting into a pool to collect bullets.

1 - 9 twist might be too much for this coating.

Only one shot on target?

You can see three more shots off the paper. Two to the right and the last one just off bottom right. All marked with red arrows.]]> Reloading Methodology janfred https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/silver-rapids-223-powder-coated-bullets/paged/3/#post-2038 https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/silver-rapids-223-powder-coated-bullets/paged/3/#post-2037 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 20:59:30 +0000 Reloading Methodology Tripodmvr https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/silver-rapids-223-powder-coated-bullets/paged/3/#post-2037 https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/silver-rapids-223-powder-coated-bullets/paged/3/#post-2036 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 14:00:41 +0000
Did you shoot a group with at least 3 shots?

***********************
4 shots - one kept for velocity check if the load worked.]]> Reloading Methodology Treeman https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/silver-rapids-223-powder-coated-bullets/paged/3/#post-2036 https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/silver-rapids-223-powder-coated-bullets/paged/3/#post-2035 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 11:06:03 +0000 Reloading Methodology Tripodmvr https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/silver-rapids-223-powder-coated-bullets/paged/3/#post-2035 https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/silver-rapids-223-powder-coated-bullets/paged/3/#post-2034 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 10:19:04 +0000 Reloading Methodology Treeman https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/silver-rapids-223-powder-coated-bullets/paged/3/#post-2034 https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/silver-rapids-223-powder-coated-bullets/paged/3/#post-2033 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 10:18:38 +0000 1 hole by Cody  Allen, on Flickr]]> Reloading Methodology Treeman https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/silver-rapids-223-powder-coated-bullets/paged/3/#post-2033 https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/silver-rapids-223-powder-coated-bullets/paged/3/#post-2032 Sun, 01 Jan 2023 12:40:39 +0000
Something else to consider:
These bullets are softer than any metal-jacketed type.  I should be a good idea to remove any jacket (copper) fouling from the bore before shooting these, as a little copper fouling could really mess up the softer bullets.

*************************
I am on the look out for a place with a swimming pool I can shoot these into and recover them, my usual spot is 180 km out of town and dunno when I will be in area.
Perhaps I will take a 100 lt drum to one of the closer farms. I want to get some bullets back that have not hit sand and rock etc just clean deformation from water, check the engraving, coating etc
