Does anyone know what the proprietary silver coating is on Calhoun bullets? Or, more usefully, how to get it off?

I prefer to buy Made in Montana products since we have a local economy similar to Somalia's but I've shot these for the last time. They foul a barrel terribly in a dozen shots and by the 20th round, you can't keep 'em on a piece of typing paper at 100 yards. Worse, you have to burn incense and dance in a circle naked, chanting to get it out! Nothing seems to dissolve it and JB is the only answer.

Sorry, rant off .. What is this stuff? Nickel?

Mr. C told me it is a standard bearing metal. Zinc? Babbit? Didn't mention best means of cleaning, but you might ask. Nice guy. luck.

What caliber? How many do you have and what might you want for them?

They're 17's and I understand he's no longer making that size. I still have a couple hundred 28 grainers and a handful of pulled 22 gr.

I tried molying the 28's but it didn't "take" at all.

They're yours for $10 shipped ($2 for the box, $8 USPS "ship anywhere" rate). Otherwise, I'll use them in my Wrist Rocket ...

Nice visual there redial, thanks a lot.

How do I put out my mind's eye?

You owe me a breakfast...

Damn, sorry. I was hoping they were 22s. I've had great luck with those.

I sent you a private message. I will take all the 17 caliber Calhouns you have for the $10.00. Just send me an address to send the check/postal money order.

Mike.
