Cast Lead in the 475 Turnbull - 05/20/21
Howdy,
I recently purchased a Winchester 71 that had been re-barreled to 475 Turnbull.
I have load data for jacketed bullets from Turnbull Restoration, but am having trouble finding information about loading cast lead bullets. I found a box of 410 Gr. Lead Wide Flat Nose Gas Check bullets by Cast Performance at Midway USA and have them coming. I've loaded for a ton of different chamberings using jacketed bullets over the years but have very little experience loading cast lead.
I'm asking if you guys might have a load your prefer and at what velocity does one start having problems with lead fouling in a barrel?
Thanx, in advance!
