How fast can you push Powder coated bullets, non gas check?
would be using in 357mag, 44mag, possibly 460swm. Just curious, about leading or distortion issues.

I have pushed 357 Magnum beyond 1700 fps. with powder coated bullets with no issues. In fact, the barrel was spotless.

It was a 8" Dan Wesson revolver shooting a 125 grain plain base bullet from a LEE mold pushed by a healthy dose of W296.
