Default Powder coat bullets

I have been casting 6.5, 30 cal, 45 acp, 45-70 then powder coating.
I have found in rifle loads that gas checks dramatically improve accuracy. With high velocity only a harder bhn alloy will prevent leading when pushing the limits.
I found it was just easier to keep velocities down and use a faster burning powders.
I first warm my casts to 40 degrees. Then tumble in a vibration tumbler. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes.
Then water quence. Wheel weights come to 16 bhn once water quenced. I use this for everything I shoot
