A few weeks ago I posted about my problems with leading in my 44 mag SRH with 7.5 inch barrel. I was using 12.5 gr 800 x which chronoed at about 1300 fps.
The bullet diameter was .430. I've since tried 12 gr of 800x which still resulted in leading. I had attempted to try measuring the throats with my caliper with poor results. So I bought pin gauges which arrived today.
It turns out that my SRH has .431 throats. I haven't slugged the barrel but will the .430 bullet in a
.431 throat cause the problem?
I haven't bought a new batch of bullets yet so I will look for .431 bullets online.
