Regarding the question about bullet coating Hermann wrote:
"Much has been made of bullet coatings. Peregrine cannot suggest or endorse a specific type of coating, simply because the coating process is outside of Peregrine's control. No company will accept liability for a modification of their product. This said, Peregrine does offer advice on how to reduce friction and thus barrel fouling. You are correct in your understanding that Peregrine bullets foul less, but all copper bullets do foul. Fouling is caused by the interference between the barrel and the bullet. If the barrel is rough, fouling will be increased. Most new barrels look like rasps on the inside, which shaves off copper like a file. Try polishing the inside of your barrel with Iosso or JB bore paste. This will make a tremendous difference. Secondly, use a precision bullet. Peregrine bullets are precision machined to fit 5 micron under bore. Thus the interference is eliminated, resulting in less friction and thus less barrel fouling. Third, because Peregrine bullets are machined, the surface isn't work hardened as with rolled copper bullets. This means the softer Peregrine copper flows backwards easier during engraving and without depositing much if any copper on the barrel surface. Lastly, use one of the new powders like IMR Enduron 4166 or Hodgdon CFE223 that have anti-copperfouing additives."
Maybe my question was not clear enough. Peregrine does not use any coating on their bullets - any reason for that? Franco or Alliwyn?
Also, instead of posting links to the websites as an answer to questions I know that our regular members and casual readers of this forum appreciate a response by an individual. Such personal responses prompt new questions and thus understanding and acceptance grows. It is what the chat forum is about.
