Re: Teflon coating for lead bullets
On a more serious note: A friend has his LRN 230gn bullets Teflon coated by someone in ET (now Mpumalanga). But he does not shoot his 1911 much. Someone once said that those Teflon-coated lead bullets tend to convert your barrel to smooth bore. Apparently not the Teflon, but some abrasive impurities in the mix. But that's just a rumour AFAIK. More factual info would be most welcome.
Sorry to interrupt your fun. You may continue...

Re: Teflon coating for lead bullets
Highly unlikely. What in the "Teflon mix" would be able to degrade a steel barrel? Teflon reduces friction and can handle heat (see bauer pan ref). Besides, the lead is softer than the steel barrel, so the bullet should deform before the barrel does. My take, the Teflon will be off ur bullet long before bullet exits barrel. Just use Hoppe's number 9 to remove lead from barrel.
