Hello.
I´ve fired ca 4000 lee 228 grs 1-r bullets in a 5" version this season.
Throat to barrel dimensions and timing is ok.
No frame choke.
There is leading if alloy hardeness at brinell 12 or lower.
There is still some leading at brinell 14-15.
I tumble lube size, ,452 and tumblelube.
I use this boolit at powerfactor 175 for IPSC/USPSA competitions and suspect that the reason for the leading is the shallow rifling of the modern S&W barrels.
Does modern ,45 barrels need harder boolits or am I off in the wrong direction?
