Took out my Ruger Alaskan today and my dad's GP100 in 44 special. I was shooting Hitek coated bullets from a certain manufacturer and was getting massive leading in both guns with different loadings. Loads were
44 special, 240gr Hitek bullet, Accurate #5 7.0 gr
44 special 240gr Hitek bullet, Unique 6.5gr
44 special 240gr Hitek bullet, Unique 7.0gr
44 magnum, 240gr Hitek bullet, Unique 7.0gr
44 magnum, 240gr Hitek bullet, Accurate #9 18.5gr
This pic is after 2 cylinders (10 rounds) in the Gp100 with 6.5gr of Unique.
This picture is after 2 cylinders ( 12 rounds) in the Alaskan 44 magnum with 7.0gr of Unique.
I was able to shoot some of my hotter #9 loads in the Alaskan with my home casted and powdercoated bullets afterwards. That seemed to get alot of it out, but I'll have to get the chore boy out for the rest and for my dad's GP100.
Anyone have similar problems with Hi-Tek coated bullets?
