Any published load shown to be accurate(most books tell you which ones were most accurate for them) should shoot well from a 29 in good working condition. Without slugging your throats and bore, it would be impossible to say if lead will shoot better than jacketed. Every gun is a different beast, and the only way to find out what it likes, is to feed it.
The Hornady 240 grain XTP's did not pass the throat test and fell right through at .430

I slugged one of the throat's and it came in at .434

Could this explain why I am having accuracy issues at 20 yards? I also slugged the barrel but don't know how to properly mic the grooves yet.
