Loading Hi-Tek Coated Bullets

[Rule3]

Arch,

I loaded a bunch of the 124 gr RN , Some of the 200 gr 45 Auto FN with a cannelure for 45 Colt and I am now loading the same bullet in the 45 ACP. I have not been to the range yet and it is so hot and humid I am not going to drag the chronograph out there!!.

Just going to go shoot. Can only take about an hour or so,

I loaded them with my regular lead powder data, towards the high side

Thank you for the information. Can't wait for the range report...

I loaded up 50 using high end lead data except for 1 load where I use my 124gr FMJ load of Longshot just to see how well the bullets might hold up to the higher pressures. (only 10 rounds) I loaded 20 each of various W231 weights and 2 different OALs. I can't get out till the middle of the week to shoot them but i will report when I do...

I used Longshot also for the 9mm. Trail boss for the 45 Colt ( I want to get rid of it) I usually use Unique) and HP38 for the 45 ACP (felt like a change from BE)

OK, to be clear
By this: "I appreciate all the input but the main reason for the thread was what load data to use".
You meant: cast, jacketed, plated, or swaged data
Not powder,powder weight, primer type, brass, overall length, etc.
And just MC coated 9mm bullets.
gotcha, Ken

Yes Sir, that's exactly what I meant and I said so in my very first unedited post when I made the thread.

I'm about to load those Hi-Tek 2 coated 9mm Missouri Bullets I just got but I'm not sure which load data to use. Do I use jacketed data, lead data or treat them like plated bullets?

Just so we are perfectly clear...

I'll stay tuned to this thread or the new one you plan on opening to add my results to yours.

Well in order to be clear or "transparency" as they say these days. My bullets are from Bayou Bullets , not MBC I believe the coating is the same.

Just to be clear on that.

Alright already!: Please go shoot em and tell us what you learned.

If MBC will coat a 147gr bullet, I might be able to create an even softer 9x19 bunny fart.

Bayou bullets has them in 147,
Now I have always got my bullets from MBC but Bayou came out with the coated ones first. Run by Donnie Miculek, Jerrys Brother.

I've been shooting a bunch of 147 RNFP from Bayou in my CZ's, I like them.
Mine were Red/Copper coated HI-TEK.

I got to shoot the 124 gr RN from my CZ today and the 200 gr RNFP from a 45 Colt SW Mt Gun ad the same bullet in 45 ACP. They are as accurate as regular lead, no smoke (today was 100% humidity and T storms all around so there would have been lots of smoke in the air with regular lead.

My hands were clean Will have to see tomorrow when I clean the guns how good the barrels are.

Only thing I noticed was a "toxic" smell. Kinda like burned plastic, or a shorted wire kinda of smell. Not real bad but I did notice it. I have a good sniffer, Is there a MSDS on this coating?? (No I have not looked yet

 

[moonman16]

Googled it,

Gateway Bullets says a MDSD will be supplied upon request
for products they carry.

Arch, have you shot these yet?
