Hello All! This is my first post to this forum, but I am a reglar contributor to glocktalk...Those glock guys are cast bullet phobic...
I just got a Taurus Raging Bull in 454 Casull. I loaded up some 255 SWC bullets from Kead to just over 1500 FPS. Lots of fun to shoot, and less leading than I expected in the barrel. The Comp/ports of the Bull were significantly leaded!
I tried again with 300 grain bullets @1300 and the slow 1680 powder. Also tried the 255s @ 1100 with Universal clays. I still got leading of the Comp/port.
Will gas checks prevent lead build up in the compensator of a Raging Bull?
Commercial Gas-Checked bullets are VERY expensive. Other than casting my own, where can I find the cheapest Gas-Checked bullets for the 454? I like 300+ grain bullets.
Is there a way to attach a gas check/equivalent to a plain based bullet?
Or, do I just need to shoot JHP ONLY?
Does anybody know of an easy way to clean the ports/comp?
I don't cast my own yet, and the wife says not until we are done having kids... For now, I am restricted to commercially available bullets, or the expensive proposition of acquiring swaging equipment...
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
