Hey Gang,
Been reloading a while but new to this forum. I'd like to make some low power 30 cal loads (30-30 and 30-06) using buck shot. I've read lots of the posts and have some recipe ideas. My big question here is - has anybody used Ballistic Products NICKEL plated buck shot for this? They describe it as copper washed and nickel plated. They make a #1 1/2 buck shot which is 0.310 diameter. Sounds perfect for this but I am nervous about what the nickel plating will do in a barrel as far as fouling. Not looking for high velocity - just say around 1200 fps.
Your thoughts?
thanks
