I could use some words of encouragement. My reloading has been going well. Thus far, until today, I've only reloaded coated bullets from MBC.
I decided to order some MBC uncoated 255 gr SWC (Brinell of 12) because the coated ones I got before were harder than I should be using (Brinell of 18). As I started seating the uncoated bullets, some of the lube would ooze out the top of the casing and had to be cleaned off with a paper towel. As I was fiddling with the bullet heads, I was getting lead all over my hands. In the future, I'll have to use nitrile gloves which I never used with coated bullets.
I'm about ready to take the 1,000 bullets I ordered and throw them in the trash. I don't understand what the attraction is of an uncoated bullet. It is messy, takes additional time to clean up, and requires the use of nitrile gloves.
Why does anyone use an uncoated bullet?
