Powder Coated Bullets: A Cost-Effective Option for Reloading
In an era marked by constant price hikes and economic challenges, both dedicated and occasional sports shooters are seeking ways to save on reloading components. For South African shooters, transitioning from traditional lead cast bullets to conventional CMJ (Complete Metal Jacket) and FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) bullets was a logical step due to various advantages. Lead cast bullets often necessitated lube grooves to prevent excessive lead fouling in the bore, resulting in unpleasant Odors and smoke in indoor shooting ranges. However, many reloaders still Favor lead cast bullets for their affordability.
