Not sure I posted this in the right forum "Cast Boolits" So I'll post it here:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am a 44 mag nut. I got a whole stable of Ruger SBH's and a marlin 1894. My young sons have taken to the 44's as well, when I load them down accordingly.
I have not shot cast bullets in a great many moons until recently. The price of things have driven me to it.
My question is concerning leading in my barrels. What's the best way to get this stuff out? I currently have not had any leading at all. I am shooting Oregon trail Lasercasts 240gr Rnfp's at pretty low velocities. I will be experimenting with many different makes, etc and know that I will run into some leading before I'm done.
Someone Mentioned "Chore Boy" scouring pads????? What does this entail?
I looked at a Lewis lead remover on Brownell's but they are out and I cant find anything on the Hoppes model. (44)
Any recommendations of a good performing Economy priced bullet would be greatly appreciated. I try and stick with the 240 grainers as I have taken Countless Hogs and deer with that weight in the past. (14 Hogs in the last 6 months).
Also, I would appreciate any suggestions on some good cast bullets, also in 240 gr for hunting.
how fast can I run a Lead bullet?
