My take on the .30 Parabellum

[Curss]

So thats where you get Kryptonite bullets.... If you don't mind me asking, whats the purpose of the Hi-Tek coating?

[rhuff]

The Hi-Tec coating stops the plain lead bullet from laying down lead in the bore when fired. Some guns have no problems when the bore diameter is matched correctly to the bullet diameter, and others are cursed with leading. It can be a real "pain" to get the lead out of the bore.


The Hi-Tec coating is much cleaner to handle as there is no bullet lube used on these bullets, so no clogged up seating dies. Also, no handling of the raw lead.

It's in essence a "jacket" that encapsulates the lead and renders bullet lube un needed. No lubing and no leading what so ever. Lubing 500 bulets on my Lyman 450 takes the best part of 2 hours, Hi-Tek coating tales less than 20min.

Oh and the colour actually is called kryptonite green
