[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2054878, member: 15054"] no slowing down for lead loads. usually the same load in lead creates less pressure than the load for a plated bullet. Refer to your reloading manual...the lyman 49th is a good one. I shoot lead from my 45 at 850+fps200gr and my 357 mag at 1376 fps 170gr Zero leading..of course the 357 is gas checked..nearly 2000 fps from my 30-30 no leading. Wheel weights work great... Soft lead like shower pans and plumbers pipe i get leading. at any speed. Yes slug the barrel.. The Lee liquid alox works great in all my cast loads..2 coats for the 357 and 30-30. You sure will save a bunch on bullets if you cast your own.. My buddy just got an XD40..i have a feeling i will be making some cast loads for it soon. His first gun and he likes to shoot it a bunch.. And less than 4 bucks to make 50 of your own. win win [/QUOTE]
