WS2 Question
As I understand it, the WS2 coating reduces friction so that you lose velocity as compared to a naked bullet.....along with less pressure. That being the case, any comments on where to start load development with WS2? In other words, if I had a good load of 25.1 gr of RL10X with a Sierra BK, where should I begin in load development for a WS2 coated bullet? Many Thanks. George

Re: WS2 Question
Start at 25.1
If you chronograph both please post the velocities. I'm betting it will be noticable but not a huge difference. I still use moly because I bought a few ounces back in the late 80's and still have almost 1/2 left. At 24.8 gr RL10X I shoot coated and naked into the same point of aim with same results. Advantage of coated bullets is ease of cleaning and reduced frequency of cleaning in the prairie dog towns. I only notice 25-30 fps difference.
