Mark,
The old Winchester Lubalox Ballistic Silvertip coating was a black oxide wax coating. Completely different from the Hexagonal Boron Nittride coating being discussed here. Buy yourself some Speer Gold Dots and give them a whirl.
Wait, let me look. Yep, I just peaked in my panties and I'm still a gal :-)
My 270 AR and 270 MSR are both on AR15 polymer lowers with Geissele SSA-E triggers, 45 deg safeties, and MagPul BAD levers.
Lately I've been switching to Vihtavuori powders. I use N135 in the two AR's. I was using IMR...
In a way it is. I want more people to use and ask for HBN factory coated bullets so more will be available in more calibers and weights for me. I shoot a 270-08 and want to use 130 gr HBN coated bullets. But Spear only offers 90gr and 115gr in that caliber. I haven't bought a 280 Ackley Improved...
I currently only use Speer Gold Dot bullets which are HBN (Hexagonal Boron Nitride) coated from the factory. I think their factory HBN coting is more effective than home "do it yourself" methods. And no seating problems like some have reported with home coated bullets.
I combine Gold Dot...
