If you guys know any cleaner powders for lead target loads i'm all ears.
Shouldn't be a problem with the larger size, but again, trying to get a lead bullet that works for you, without leading, can be a painful job sometimes which, frankly, I gave up on (I have a 29-2 also). I really suggest you go to plated bullets for your target loads in the 29-2. Really, you'll waste less time, be happier & $$ ahead in the end, if you do.

I'll suggest Unique as an alternative. At reasonable pressures it's fine but I suggest it because it's also bulkier & will take up more space reducing the chance of a double charge, which is very easy in a large case with small charges of fast fine powder. Definitely forget about H110/W296 for light target loads.

BruceM, he was asking about low recoil target loads.
