I needed a way to consolidate and compare the information from all of the powder coated cast lead hollow point tests I have been doing, so I set up a spreadsheet on Google Docs. This test is a long experiment testing powder coated cast lead hollow point bullets made from various alloys and fired at various velocities.
Join me as I attempt to discover: what takes place when powder coated hollow points are fired in the .44 and .38/.357 at various velocity levels? What are the effects of varying bullet hardness at these velocities?
The Lee 358-158-RF mold was hollow pointed by Erik Ohlen at http://www.hollowpointmold.com/
The 44 Keith SWC mold is the “MP 432-256 PB HP 4 cav” mold from https://www.mp-molds.com/
