I'm trying to get these MB .452 RN 230gr to work in my FNP, they are a 18 BNH.
So far here are the loads.
5.3 gr W231 @ 1.260" OAL.......... Leaded in the first inch or so of the barrel
5.7 gr W231 @ 1.260" OAL.......... ^^^^^^^^^^^
4.8 gr Titegroup @ 1.260" OAL.......... ^^^^^^^^^^^
Lyman shows 5.8 max for W231 and 5.1 max for titegroup for 225gr LRN bullets.
I've read that people say to up the charge to seal the bullet in the barrel and get rid of the leading near the chamber, but more charge really?
The pic below is after 10 rounds.
Thanks
