I think I know the answer, but after having a not optimal experience loading cast bullets over Titegroup, I am double checking before I do some with Blue Bullets.
Seems like it would be all good?

Thanks guys, I wanted to be sure I wasn't misremembering before I had a big pile of something lame.
Like the last time...

There have been numerous reports of Tite Group softening the coating on the bases of a number of different coated bullets. I have seen it first hand on some coated bullets and I no longer use TG. There were also reports of Bullseye doing this, but I haven't used BE in ages, so I can't say. Since there are many different types and manufacturers of coatings involved, the best course of action appears to be to pour a healthy amount of your selected powder in an airtight container and drop a new coated bullet in with it. Check it every week or so to see if the coating appears to be softening. The ones I tested were so soft after two weeks that I could easily scrape the coating off the base of the bullet with my thumbnail.
I wouldn't be surprised if the IPSC shooters don't see much of this. The ones I've known in the past could barely reload enough over the week to be able to shoot that weekend. This isn't enough time to allow the powder to work at the powder.
It’s fine, TG is always smoky regardless. I’ve been using it with coated bullets for years.
I shot plenty of lead in .45ACP with TG. Was fine. No smoker, lead-wise, than W231.

I think the brand I last loaded was Lasercast.
Been years, running mostly Glocks, so only plated and jacketed from now on.
