[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2293814, member: 807"] If you are getting severe leading from a revolver, you need to have the chamber throats checked for diameter, they should be matched to the bore diameter. There have been several studies done on leading in revolvers and the most common cause is a mismatch of bullet diameter to chamber throat. Find a gunsmith or machinist who has the set of measuring inserts for measuring hole diameters and see if they are all one size or of varying sizes. If they are all one size, match your sized bullet to the chamber throat and you will probably find that your leading is greatly reduced. For a number of years I believed that the harder the bullet the less leading you would experience, but tests show that is not necessarily true. I have shot some pretty soft bullets with the proper lube and sized to the throat of the chamber and had very little leading even at higher speeds, and had some bullets cast so hard that they disintegrated on impact even at slower speeds that leaded badly. Lots of neat things to experiment with here.. [/QUOTE]
