Re: Zero Mike coated bullets
Buddy of mine (top shooter) is loading ZM. He says it works better if you seat the bullet by hand, a bullet feeder (his is Mr Bullet Feeder) can cause the bullet to be placed slightly sideways damaging the coating. Frontiers also do not place perpendicular, but the hardness of the surface straightens the bullet better than ZM during seating.
Same load as Frontier, he reports noticeably more recoil (from his G19). ZM recommends dropping the powder charge 8-10% I believe.

Never use the same load for a coated bullet. always reduce the charge.

Re: Zero Mike coated bullets
Load development is a thing, I even got 100 extra bullets just to do development and to fuck around with, currently loading Bulletcorp 124 Gn, 3,8 Gn S121 (literally half a dispenser full left) then ill take a chanse and switch over to the Lovex with the same load and test
