Powder Coating and the Paradox

I have owned a Holland Paradox for the past 12 years and have had success loading for it.

The one frustration I had was in practicing after 3 or 4 shots in a barrel leading would become a problem. I tried coating with Alox with poor results having the best results by wrapping the slug in Teflon tape but would still get leading.

Typically when hunting I never shot more than one or two slugs so I just learned to live with it at the target range.

I recently got into casting for a 45 Colt. In learning about that I discovered powder coating as a way to avoid leading as well as eliminating the need to lube the bullets.

After having success with powder coating the handgun bullets the idea hit me to try it on the Paradox. So I cast some of the big slugs, powder coated them and after sizing them in my push through die loaded some rounds this am and went to the range.

I couldn't tell any difference on the target and best of all experienced no leading.

Target shown was at 50yds, think I pulled that 4th shot a bit left. When I was younger I could see the target better, it's hell getting old!
