So I am new to shooting USPSA, just started last year and have been trying to find a good cast load. Here is what I am loading.
4.6 grains of W231 behind a 180 grain cast pill. Usually with a CCI primer.
The bullets are cast by me from the Lee 175 grain truncated cone mould. After lubing and sizing they weight out to be 180. I am casting using straight clip on wheel weights. I then lube and size them through a Star sizer using Thompsons Blue Angel lube.
I am shooting a Glock 22 with Storm lake barrel, and this load is making at right about 170 PF, I am shooting limited.
I have read that using a fast powder like W231 with lead can cause problems with leading. Has anyone else seen this happen?
So to help keep from burning through components I was hoping to get some help with what might put an end to some horrific leading I have been having.
I am not looking to change from cast bullets. I have more time than money and I like casting anyway. Cant see spending cash on bullets when I have a source of near free lead.
