[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3702211, member: 15054"] I make my own cast bullets and I* have 2 45's that you can't get to groove size the groove measures .4535" So I must cast soft alloy and it bumps up quicker and less leading with lubed bullets. If I rapid fire I get quite a bit of leading. Once I began powder coating the 45's I get Zero leading and accuracy is the same. I actually took 300+ alox lubed bullets and cleaned them of all alox and powder coated them because I like that so much. Now I still run a 170 gr lubed lead gas checked bullet in my 30-06 because I have not wanted to change that particular load as it is so fun and accurate enough. 11.5gr Red Dot powder 1400 fps quiet like a weak fire cracker. Recoil like a 22 rifle. A draw back to the lubed bullet is it will collect dust and your fingers get greasy. I have also found in my 30-30 with cast lubed gas checked bullets is velocity increases with the more you shoot. I was shooting 10 rounds through my 30-30 checking group size and velocity and noticed each shot gained a little more velocity. I was not going slow fire i was shooting at the target than load another round and reposition the gun and send another one down range. I do not know what the velocity difference was exactly but it was more than 100 fps difference by the last shot fired. I found it . Read through this.
