How fast are you pushing lasercast bullets?

[Bula]

Hey guys, new reloader here. I've read myself silly in regards to leading, gas checks, plain and bevel based, clylinder throat size, slugging barrels etc., etc....I just want to know real loads from real shooters using lasercast bullets. I've been loading 45 acp for a while with great results using lasercast products. I just started to load for a redhawk, 7.5" 44 mag and a 357 taurus 6"model 66, 45 colt is next. So how about it guys? What is the fastest loads you shoot, with no leading, using lasercast. Load data would be great too. I'm curious, I'll take all calibers and gun makes/models.

In 357 I push thier 158 swc to 1550 with minimal leading.

Same with a 245 SWC in 44.

Since you have no other takers:

The taurus isn't strong enough to handle more speed than the lazer cast slug can.

As for the 44 try around 20 grains of 2400 for a good stout load. That is right at max in most current books.

In 357, start at 13 grains of 2400, but I wouldn't push the taurus past 14 grains on the top side.

Both loads should run about 1300fps +/- 100 depending on your guns.

 

[shooting on a shoestring]

Just loaded 550 rounds of .45 Colt

I shot my .45 Colt Blackhawk 7.5" on Tuesday, cast and sized bullets last night, loaded today. I use 3 Lyman molds, 454190 250 gr.(round nose flat point, 2 small grease grooves, crimps on the ogive), 454424 250 gr.(swc with a huge meplat, looks like a manhole cover), and 452490 250 gr.(gas checked swc).
I load the 452490 gas checked between 1200 and 1300 fps. I use 21 gr of W296, 20 gr of Lil'Gun, or 22 gr of H4227. Any of these gives me about 10" to 12" groups bench rested at 100 yds, iron sights. No leading.

For the 454424 plain base I usually load it to between 1000 and 1100 with 7.5 gr Bullseye, 10 gr Unique, 13.5 gr Blue Dot, or 15 gr AA#7. I have also used Titegroup, 700X, HP 38, HS6 and PB in the recent past. I get some minimal leading just past the forcing cone with the fast powders, it stops with Unique and slower.

The 454190 leads with every combination I've tried. Some minimal, some awful. Shoots 10" groups with 13.5 gr Blue dot, 100 yds bench rested, and leads the lenght of the barrel, velocity is 1060 fps.

I cast and shoot wheel weights. No additives, alloying, heat treating nor nothing. I also use an Oheler 35P chrono. I've had it 3 years and should of had it 30.

Hope that helps.
