Probably poor fit if getting leading at 1250fps, unless they are very soft, like dead soft lead. Check your cyl throat dia, if tight, they are swaging down the lead bullet which could be exacerbating the flame cutting. I also think slow powders like H110 accelerate flame cutting, as do shorter shank bullets like 200gr in 44mag.
A hard cast 240-250gr LFP or LSWC @ 1250fps would do anything I need a 44mag to do & easier to shoot in that light weight gun. Not much walking in NA will stop one of those.
