.44 Mag + Cast Bullets = lots of leading for me
Hey guys, excellent site, been a lurker for awhile. I have a 29-2 and a 629-5 Mountain Gun that I would like to shoot cast from, mainly the Mt Gun. It shoots 240gr jacketed bullets excellent, cast is bad because of leading. I have tried bullseye, Unique, and 2400 with numerous charges with some type of commercial cast and I ordered some Mount Baldy 250gr Keith bullets and I get leading every time. The bullseye load doesn't lead as bad, but it still leads up after 10-15 rounds, the Mount Baldy bullets, I get smeared lead after 1 shot. According to my measurements my throats are .4295", for the guys who shot cast in the S&W's, how do you do it?? I really wanted to get the Mt Gun for a deer/hog packing pistol with the hopes of cast but right now I am using the 240XTP and the Nosler 240 JSP.
Thanks
