Obturation said:My favorite true shot bullet is the 360 grain wlnfpgc 45 bullet.
Are there gas checked Laser Cast bullets?
How about gas checked Laser Cast?
I’m a big fan of Montana Bullet Works (and they too have new ownership). And MBW has a wide selection of GC bullets plus their website is very informative about exactly what you’re purchasing.
Looks like Montana’s the place to be for bullet manufacturers.
I can’t remember exactly but I typically load with 9 grains of Unique and that ain’t gonna push those puppies much beyond 800 FPS.Iski... do you chrono your rounds? I seem to remember those Hornady’s are supposed to run pretty slow (most around 900 FPS). I just looked in a couple of their reloading manuals and didn't see anything that exceeded 1,000 FPS.
As a side bar....I'm a firm believer that anybody that shoots cast bullets should have a Lewis Lead Remover in each caliber that their sending lead down range in. They're cheap, relatively simple to use and they just plain WORK! You can thank me later for the hours of frustration they prevented. Sourced from Brownells.

If I remember correctly the BHN is about a 16. I usually go a little larger on bullet diameter. 358, 452,etc. No leading problems.Well riddle me this guys, which BHN value and above are safe (from leading) to use minus a GC?
Bullet fit is more important than how hard it is. There are many factors which contribute to leading.Well riddle me this guys, which BHN value and above are safe (from leading) to use minus a GC?
