Lee TL356-124-2R accuracy. Does anyone have any experience with this boolit?
My first attempt left so much lead in the barrel I went back to the jacketed bullet I had been using. I never tried for accuracy. The casting pot, mold and box of lead set for over a year. I think my problem was too small diameter for my barrels.
I drank the powder coat cool-aid and was able to fatten the boolits up to about .358, and I size them to .357. With the powder coat I have no barrel leading, but I am shooting patterns more than groups. With the jacketed bullet I was shooting a 3" group at 75'. With this boolit I miss the target 50% of the time.
So, is my boolit too small? The barrel slugs at .355-.3555" Is this a bad boolit for accuracy? Do you recommend another boolit?
