You must have been shooting bullets that were undersized for your bore. I have been shooting blackout for a couple of years now and I haven't had any sort of leading problems at all. That includes loads up to nearly 2000 fps.

Undersized bullets will lead at even modest speeds. You probably need a fatter mold or a bigger sizer die. The powder coat is probably adding enough diameter to prevent gas from blowing by and flame cutting the lead.

i would just give the 223 a try if i could find a fair priced suitable mold, i was hoping someone had firsthand experience though
Is $17.55 cheap enough?
