[QUOTE="William H, post: 2430697, member: 74916"] I have reloaded using the Hornady 40 grain VMax and they have worked well except about 10% stick (not the bullet, just the case) in both my FN hand gun and the PS90. I am still trying to determine what the coating is that is used to prevent the sticking. I believe it is a thin coat of Teflon that is sprayed on. Plan on sending it to a lab to get a precise answer on material and thickness. It has become too expensive to keep on buying new ($.87 ea.), so I am saving that stash for necessary use and use my reloads for plinking. I have learned that the use of a shell holder with no hole for decapping is necessary to keep from shoving the case thru the decapping hole when sizing. There is a lot of force being applied on the base with hardly any material in the head to support it. [/QUOTE]
