[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2614705, member: 15054"] I have not loaded anything but lead bullets in my 357 and my 45acp. But i did find that my accuracy is better with NO crimp. I lube with Lee liquid alox and that stuff acts like super glue. I tried to remove a couple bullets i seated too deep with an inertia puller and they would not budge. This lead me to doing a test. I installed 1 bullet in the chamber of my 357 mag this has a 6" barrel. and left that 1 bullet in the same hole and shot the other 5 rounds . then loaded another 5 rounds and shot those.. then removed my single bullet and measured the OAL It was the same as when i stuck it in there. The loads were gas checked 170gr in the 1300fps range. But alas this is lead not FMJ. I wonder if the FMJ in a 40 would act different [/QUOTE]
