[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2982360, member: 15054"] I did some measuring of the same batch of bullets the 357 measures .359" with NO coating. The 45 bullet measures .4515"- .452" with no coating. Looks like the Powder coat is adding .002" of thickness. The 45 bullets weighed at 205 gr with that batch and the 357 bullet weighed in at 165gr. That Lee mold throws heavy fat ones in the 357. Gas checked and lubed i had some batches running at 170gr. Shot superb though so I like it. Nice pictures DRC458 BTW my 45acp both of them slug at .4535" So it is happiest with a softer bullet that bumps up quickly and Bullseye powder. I feel the faster powder bumps it up quicker. Those Bayou bullets are pretty hard. I say similar to clamp on water quenched wheel weights. which is too hard for my 45acp. [/QUOTE]
