A great day at the range.
ALL my loads worked real well. My castings did not lead in either .45ACP, or .38spl.
I use only Lee molds, and water dropped wheel weights with zinc blended in.
No spray from the forcing cone, no leading. We have a Smith in .357, and I tried my new EAA EA/B. That is a great pistol.
Dead on.
My wife has the Smith, and she is not sure she likes it. It was the first pistol she bought before we met. She much prefers her Taurus Pt 1911! Now, there is a switch.
I had gotten some 185gn wad cutters for the ACPs. Mine did not like it at all. Hers ate it, and everything else. Usually it is not mine that is picky.
I use Blue Dot powder. They all like it. .38spl loads with Blue Dot are great. They print POA, and no smoke or leading.
All in all, a good day. My wife is back to shooting after an injury from overloading her Walker! Her index finger was swollen up for almost a year.
She went back to the range today, and got to shoot!
She is suprised her first choice is the PT 1911. She had always thought it was the Smith.
Heheheh. I told her it would be that way.
Now to clean the cases, and reload.
