Hey guys, a couple days ago I was going through my pistol bullets and found an old Hornady box with "44 cal" being the only legible thing on it, and 53 lead bullets inside. I measured and weighed them, they were all right at .4305 to .431" diameter, and between 239.5 to 241.2gr. Going through my Hornady book it looks like the discontinued 240gr Lead SWC-HP is a dead on match. They have an almost shellac feel on em, which I'm guessing is lube. I'm a newbie to lead boolits, and would love to use these in either 44 mag or 44 special cases with HP-38 for some plinking loads in my Super Redhawk.
So now to the questions. Is there anything I need to do to these before loading with them? Is there anything special I need to know about loading or shooting with lead boolits? I took a couple pictures of them so people that know can maybe find something I missed.
Thanks in advance!
