[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3606486, member: 15054"] In my 45's and 38 special loads I can get by with a 50/50 mix of clamp on wheel weight and soft lead. I get more leading with straight clamp on wheel weight lead in my 45's The lead is too hard to bump up and seal the bore quickly. But my groove diameter is a bit on the large side .353+" My bullets are sized to .3525" as any larger and I can't chamber the case. I do powder coat pure soft lead rounds and those do very well no leading and shoot very accurate. I shoot some in .308 and Marlin 32-20 but they are reduced loads. [/QUOTE]
