OK, I shot by first boolits today. I really owe everyone here a debt of gratitude.
.45acp, 230gr LRN from a Lee mold. 5.5gr Unique (the same load I use with my 230gr FMJRN)
tumble lubed with Lee alox
Fired from my Colt Combat Commander
It seemed like I was getting a lot more smoke than when I shoot the jacketed bullets (though I did not do a side-by-side comparison).
Is that common or am I imagining it?
P.S. I ordered a 45-230M mold from Accurate Molds today. I think I'm addicted.
