I have a Model 1886 ExtraLite, and 500 rounds of 300-gr. LaserCast lead boolits....I've never loaded lead bullets before, and am a bit worried about leading up the barrel - I am using Reloder7 for the 405-gr. jacketed rounds, and am pretty happy with those loads and that powder. If anyone has any pet loads, or tip on loading lead in this weapon - I like the loads to be stiff enough to take Elk Hunting (yes, in caps!), so if anyone could get me started with some load data, I would certainly appreciate it!
I am also going to be loading .41 mag (215-gr. SWC, Model 57), .44 mag (240-gr. RN FP, SRH), and .45ACP (200-gr. RN, Para's) - loads for these, again, on the functional - e.g. higher-energy- side - would be greatly appreciated!
Again, I am worried about leading; None of these are GC boolits, and I've no information on how hard they are -
