I went to the range today and tested more loads for the Governor. I retrieved a couple of the Berry's 250 GR FP bullets I fired and noticed that the copper plating had been stripped from most of the area on the sides. I don't know why. It is very strange. The velocities I am pushing are not that high. Maybe the blow-by is melting it off before it gets to the forcing cone???

I also noticed lead splatter on my chronograph and the targets seem to get torn up like shrapnel was hitting them.

Any ideas?

Also, I added quite a few new loads to the first post (up top). I added some loads using magnum primers and some Power Pistol loads, which I had not tried before. There were significant differences in velocity and spread between the standard and magnum primers when using Unique and CFE Pistol. I also really liked the results I got from the Power Pistol loads.
