Home Forums Reloading Bullet Casting Severe lead build up in 45LC

My most accurate load with this 300 gr bullet {cast 30:1 alloy} is 6.5 grains of Unique sized .454 with a healthy crimp..Perks along at a tad over 1K from my 66 win..Dirty or sooty? not anymore than some other powders with zero leading or fouling. Softer alloy,softer lube,healthy safe charge,proper sizing and good crimp will most always make a 45 Colt sing.



Off the bench with my Ubert 1866 "Yellow Boy".. younger eyes could probably do better.with just the stock barrel sights.
