Gardner’s Powder-Coated 185 gr SWCs

Here’s a quick look at some new 185-grain powder-coated semi-wadcutter bullets I received from my good buddy Jim Gardner.  I loaded 50 with 5.0 grains of Bullseye in mixed brass to get a feel for how they shot.  They did great!

This was a quick look with zero load development; I just used the load that had worked well for me with cast-and-lubed 185-grain semi-wadcutter bullets.  The distance was 50 feet.

The two targets on the left were just to get a feel where the load shot, and then I put the remaining 40 rounds through the silhouette  target.  Interestingly, there was no leading and no blue paint residue in the barrel.  I like these Gardner bullets!
