What you say about sizing is very true, hence my statement about being sized to fit your revolver throats. My experience with soft lead swaged bullets, which are rarely sized correctly (for my revolvers anyway) and trying to push them too fast does cause a leading problem in my guns. I quit using them years ago and shoot nothing but cast most of the time. Usually cast with a BHN of 11 to 12, and sized to fit the throats of my revolvers.


If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
