    Win 452AA 3.8gr WQ & T-17 Lube!

    I have a friend who sugested I try some "Bore butter" for lube, he picked up the "modernized version" T-17 and since I already had loobed my boolits, I just added it on top of the rest!

    These are the ones loaded into 38 sp cases, and are other wise the same as the previous load.

    Win 452 5.2gr WQ

    Last of the bunch!


    I forgot to take pictures of the leading, it was about the same as the 3.8gr load . . .

    In conclusion some powders caused less leading with Blue Dot doing the best job, but still leading. The Water Quenched seemed to have equal or worse groups than the Air cooled, and WQ leaded a bit more . . .

    Should I be worried about this amount of leading?

    Should I fire lap a tad more . . .

    All of the above boolits were 100% wheel weights (except for the one load that I bought)

    I also had my Blackhawk with me, but I did not load any for it, but . . . I found some factory loaded 125gr jhp 38sp+p's in the car . . . so I gave it a try . . . not excellent:
