I have recently tried a new load in my polygonal rifled pistols in the quest to find a LSWC target load that works in 1911's, revolvers, and Glock and HK pistols. After much experimentation with different bullets powders and lube here is what I have developed.
5 grains of Acurate Arms Solo 1000, a Penn Bullet target grade LSWC 200 grains Brinnel 12-14, sized .452, tumbled in Lee liquid alox before loading.
This load has given me no smoke no lead fouling, and very excellent accuracy.
One of the things folks miss is having a stiff enough load and a soft enough bullet to properly obdurate to the barrel. IMHO most leading is caused by gas cutting due to poor bullet obduration, too hard a bullet and to soft a load (not enough pressure) can be a big problem.
