Swordfish, what blue bullet are you using? I’d like to use a full wadcutter if there’s one available?

I'm using 150gr (they call them 147) RN. They do make a 158gr semi wad cutter, but I don't think they make a full wad cutter.

swordfish and RePete, thanks for the heads up on the coated Bullets. I’ll have to look into both of those. I recently ordered some zero jacketed hollow points to try out. I really don’t want to buy the more expensive jacketed if I can get by with the cheaper Bullets.

I'm shooting 138 gr. Bayou Bullets polymer coated wadcutters. They are very accurate, inexpensive, and no leading.

Thanks toolguy, I’ll try some.

Roll your lead wadcutters in a little Lee liquid Alox, it will help with adding lube to the body of the projectile. If you get lead at the muzzle this should help.....if you get lead at the forcing cone end it could be a number of different issues, most of which have been mentioned by others.
