I have the ability to shot-plate MoS, WS2 and HBN, but it never occurred to me to try it with my 450b. It's interesting to see that you could charge those 200s up to 46.6gr. With non-plated bullets, I got pressure signs at 41gr in my 200 FTX work. That having been said. You can see the velocity for charge weight trade-off that comes from slick bullets. I got something like 2450 fps loading the 200s ahead of 41gr of Lil Gun. IMHO, this caliber with Lil Gun, craves more pressure. Now, it really re-opens my interest in 2400 powder, which worked better with my 200s, but the pressure was too much just as they were getting interesting. I may do some subsequent load testing using coated 200 FTXs and 2400 powder.
