Hey,
We had a "fun" shoot last night for charity so it so I decided to shoot my HK USP45 with my home spun boolits. These are made with the Lee 230TCTL mold. Lead was nothing scientific, got a bunch of assorted wheels weights both clip and stick and water quenched them. Lube was the 50/50 Alox-JPW. Loaded with 5g Bullseye and a CCI LP. Used the Lee sizer, FCD with mild crimp.
Four stages and shot just under 150 rounds or so. Checked out the leading and it was only in the 1st 1/3 of the barrel. Accuracy was not bad and I'd say it was more the indian than the arrow. Not bad smoke at alll either.
Just looking for some input on reducing the leading some. I don't want to get into rocket science on major scewing around with the loads but I'm open to learning. I know its a polygonal barrel so I wont go past 200 rounds without cleaning. Up till last night most I put through this gun was 50 rounds at once. Pretty happy about this becasue shooting FMJ .45 gets pricey - thats why I use a Glock 34 for most competition.
