Would like to hear your thoughts on shooting jacketed bullets after shooting cast bullets from a revolver.
What he said, although if I had severe leading in the bore and the jacketed stuff were "hot" loads, I do believe I'd run a bore brush through a time or two beforehand.Jeff Hoover":3xg7h9c8 said:Lazy mans way to get rid of severe lead fouling. It will not raise pressure, lead is actually like a lubricant. I do it all the time .

You may know this already but just in case you don't make sure the copper pad you use is solid copper. Some have shared that there are pads on the market that only have a copper coating over steel. You can check the pad using a magnet. I just cut a small section using scissors and wrap it around a bronze brush and swab the bore with it. It takes out the bulk of the leading. I will then remove the rest with a lead removing cleaner.the fatman":z28jk66e said:Thanks for all the replies.

Elmer was right ! I've spent most my money on guns, molds, and reloading supplies, the rest I just wasted.

However since I've learned to avoid hard cast bevel based bullets my leading problems have reduced to the level of not worth mentioning.
