[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1074305, member: 4191"] Here's a tip. It's recommended that the bullets be grease free prior to HBN coating. Bullets that I'd handled a lot, like Berger bullets I had meplat uniformed and hollowpointed prior to HBN coating, I washed in acetone and then dried in the oven prior to HBN coating. I had about 35 7mm 162gr Amax bullets in an opened box that had been handled to some extent - the extent unknown. I decided to wash them in acetone and the plastic tips swelled and deformed a little in the solvent. [U][B]TIP[/B][/U]: If you're going to HBN coat plastic-tipped bullets, coat them straight out of the boxes prior to handling them a lot. lightbulb Acetone may swell the plastic tips. I have some unopened boxes of Amax and Nosler LRAB bullets that will be treated straight out of the boxes, at the time I open them. [/QUOTE]
