[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 2293429, member: 239"] In general I use lead bullets for my Cowboy Action guns and jacketed for all the rest. Lately though with the cost of jacketed going up I considered going with lead for my 45 ACP and 44 Mag guns. Lead doesn't seem to be an issue in my 45's - works fine in 'em - but in my 44 it does not. Even downloaded to a 1250 FPS with a 240gr bullet I get severe leading around the forcing cone. I've measured the bullets and they are in spec. So I'm considering using plated bullets (JK has some good deals on plated bullets). My concern is am I going to swap "leading" with "copper fouling"? Comments? Suggestions? [/QUOTE]
