Data from ramshot powder load guide #4.3

i emailed the guys over at Ramshot powder for a lilttle help with my situaition..they suggested that i use 4.0 gr(975) to 5.0gr(1095) i have heard a few concerns from a few other reloaders that pistol speed should be limited to 900 at best for a reduced chance of leading.. my alloy is water dropped wheel weights with a lube being primarly beeswax and alox...


i have run around 1000 rounds this week through it useing 4.4 gr at a oal of 1.110 useing the lee 120 tc mold sizeing to .356 .. the results are great for accuracy dead on shots and shot to shot consistancy is there, minor lead build up but would suggest a bore brush at least ever 200 rounds ..

Where in the barrel is the 'lead build up' occuring? Running over 900fps isn't a problem when everything is right.

the lead is building up in the corner of the grooves..... so far no real issues with this load i do however find myself hitting low of point of aim...i have been playing around with oal to try and up the pressure a bit.i have treid 3 diffrent types of primers winchester ,federal,cci so far winchester being the best as it makes for a great load...
