I have just had to buy a bulk order of Federal in 6.5 Swede and only found out when I got home that they had coated heads.
I can see from some old posts that this has happened before, but are Federal now producing all of their Swede ammunition with Moly coated bullets ?
I have home loaded for years and have only just used up my old stock of factory in that caliber. The bullets do not look like SGK - as they used to be - and I was wondering if anyone has pulled a head to see what they are.
The packaging cast no light on its heritage, so before I do it , maybe someone else has.
If you have shot them have you noticed and degree of fouling increase with the coating.
