I've been having some trouble with my NAA Super Companion, I've been getting the bore leaded by shooting those 30 grain bullets too fast. Being designed and deemed safe for smokeless powder use I found that slightly over 1.5 grains is a great load for it. I recon I'm getting about 1200 FPS, the power is most comparable to Winchester Super X ammo fired out of my Remington 512 rifle.
So my load has been slightly over 1.5 grains of smokeless with some paper to push it against the nipple, and the 30 grain bullets that come with the gun. That is a fantastic load because it really lets you know you've got a Magnum, but I'm getting the bore leaded up. I think the problem is that when the bullet is seated the lube is stripped off the sides of it. Would it help if I were to put a little bit of lube on the top of the bullets to coat the bore? I know I could just stick with Triple Seven, I know I could just use Swiss. But I like the clean burning power that this load has to offer.
