Looking at the .458 300gr Ballistic Silvertip for my 45-70. Is there any adverse affects of the coating on these bullets. I have the reg. uncoated version and they shoot well in my 1885 @2000 fps. The BST's are on sale for a good price just don't know about that coating,don't want it in the bore of my rifle.

It’s not a moly coating. Reportedly reduces pressure.
Noslerclaims no special cleaning required and would add, in my gun, I can go longer between cleanings

You won't have any problems. Normal barrel cleaning and you will be fine. I run them at 2100 fps in my Marlin 1895G.

wish I could find 85 Grainers in .25 cal again. 41gr of 4350 made them really zip out of my 250- savage. No fouling problems as I recall. +2 it is not a moly coating from what I have read. I'd bet money its what Winchester loads in there premium ammo. CL
