Section 8: Handguns Subject: .44 Special GP100 Msg# 1197195

| I am torn between hard cast and soft swaged lead bullets. I prefer hard cast for probably the same reasons you do, but swaged lead bullets tend to be uniform and quite accurate. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Maybe my trouble was based on never buying soft lead bullets, but rather buying the hard lead bullets advertised to reduce leading.  It seemed to me that even jacketed bullets finally built a burn ring in the cylinder chambers but they were not as bad as the rings from hard lead bullets. I rarely shot jacketed .38 Special bullets, I always liked the 148-grain wadcutters.
I also hate to clean guns (except for my carry guns) and rarely clean a non-carry handgun until it has a few hundred rounds through it. That could also be a contributor. I especially hate cleaning revolvers since it seems to take as long as cleaning 6 semi autos... |
