Almost all was 240 gr Xtreme jacketed. I had loads of 7.5 and 9 gr W231, 9 and 10 gr Unique, and 13 gr Accurate #5. Someone else advised me to shoot a couple hundred rounds of jacketed first before going with cast. I had bad leading issues on a new 629 a while back with coated cast bullets so I thought I'd run the jacketed first. The problem could have been with the bullets themselves, I've shot a couple hundred jacketed through the 629 since with no issues whatsoever. I've ordered another brand of coated to try, but haven't loaded any yet. I'm kinda new at reloading and still trying to figure some things out.
