I've had a 1-2 month old ruger srh and have settled for now on a load of 12.5 gr 800x(lyman range 12-13.5 gr) which ran at about 1300 fps till I finish off my jug but will load down to 12 gr for the next batch.
I knew I had some leading but didn't realize how much till I got a lewis lead remover. Several questions
Has anybody had experience comparing one coated bullet vs the other from different companies regarding leading (sns casting vs mbc for example)which one leads less?
What velocity is this less likely to happen at? Is going to a BH 12 worth trying?
I've made several passes with the lewis lead remover and still see some leading even with before and after treating with lead remover shooters choice. I just gave up since it will just be leaded again next time I use it. Would using jb bore compound with the tool enhance it's effectiveness? kroil before? are other users successful in removing it entirely?
would plain lead with the hard lube be better?
Is the advice to shoot some jacketed bullets afterwards really effective in pushing out the leading?
replies to one or more will be appreciated.
