WCChapin | To PC or Not To PC – LEE C309-150-F in .30-30 Winchester
William C Chapin
My friend Mark Johnson suggested that I compare powder coated vs. tumble lubed bullets in .30-30 Winchester…he even provided the samples!
Loading the LEE C309-150-F cast bullet, both powder coated (I think it’s Eastwood Ford Light Blue) and tumble lubed with LEE Liquid Alox, gas checked, and sized to .310″ (NOE Push Through Size Die Body and 30 Cal .310″ Body Bushing).
