Ok first off i will admit i am ignorant to loading lead bullets. I have reloaded for about 8 years but this is my first go around with lead bullets, figured i would try them because they are much more economical. So i bought MBC 185gr SWC BH 18 and loaded them to a mid level load of 4.5 gr tite group and loaded up some other with 5.0 grains of titegroup which is on the upper end according to my manuals. The 4.5 gr load shot great but i got a lot of leading right in front of the chamber maybe a 1/2 in. of so and the rest of the barrel was clean. So then i cleaned the barrel and shot the 5 gr loads which shot all over the place and gave me the same leading problems. I put a light taper crimp on these loads and seated them to 1.275 which is probably irrelavent.
So did i buy to hard of a bullet?
Do I need to change poweders i have some 231 and was thinking of giving it a whirt but wanted to see what u guys had to say on this issue?
And i am not even sure if the leading i have is a problem of if this is normal i mean it just looks waxy and was a real pain to remove right in front of the chamber but the rest of the barrel was clean.
Like i said i am ignorant to lead so school me on my probably i would appreciate it.
