Gents,

Try the Western Bullet or GT Bullet 160gr LSWC-HP. It's a Keith-type SWC and the lead is a soft cast that resists leading up to and just over 1,000 fps.

I load that same charge weight of Unique and haven't had leading, but so-so accuracy. I've heard that modifying the charge weights up/down may off some relief.

For my snub revolvers, I'm starting to evolve to the full wadcutter (Matt's 157gr hard cast lead). The shoulder is sharp and the meplat is full caliber. They're accurate in all guns and would offer a crushing blow. I've loaded them with 5 grains of Unique and 3.8 grains of TiteGroup. Both loads offer good accuracy and decent velocity from a short barrel.

Thoughts?
