Hi All,
I just loaded up 50 .357 mag boolits to shoot in my Henry Bigboy, I used a load from Hogdon’s websight. It’s. #2 alloy, boolit sized to .358, and tumble lubed, no gas check. I loaded it with 4.5 grns of Tight Group, and according to Hogdon’s load data, it’s 1,157 fps, with 19,300 cup! This is their starting load! My only concern is at that velocity, am I running a risk of getting lead fouling in my barrel? Thanks for any info.
Paul
