[QUOTE="lotech, post: 2295645, member: 63141"] I don't remember all the details, but years ago I fireformed .250 Savage brass in an Ackley Improved chamber using a 120 grain cast (RCBS design) bullet. My cast bullets were and are conventionally lubricated. I don't know anything about the powder coating process but it may work well. As I recall, all worked fine, though getting the right powder charge to fully form the brass is a trial-and-error process. I wouldn't be concerned with leading; if it happens, it's easily removed, but I'd use a fairly hard bullet alloy if available and a stout charge. You can use a lesser charge if you prefer and get most of the case formed and then fully form it with the first regular full charge loading. [/QUOTE]
