I have some .452 Missouri bullet company 325 grain wfn powder coated bullets 18 brinell. That I plain on shooting in a s@w 460 with 14 in barrel. They average out to about 320 grains taking a handful and weighing them. In the Lyman cast booklet reloading manual using imr 4227 , 31.0 avertized fps 1502 grain being starting load and 39 max 1814 fps . The bullets they use are i think is gas checked. The Missouri are powder coated ,at what point will powder coated bullets start to lead. Don't care about max loads what so ever just what shoots the best in my revolver. And not lead up barrel.

Too many variables involved in leading to post a set velocity as to when bullets start to lead.
Missouri Bullets are very good and I believe those are cast at Brn 18?
Usually just a trial and error thing figuring that out with your gun.

Too many variables involved in leading to post a set velocity as to when bullets start to lead. It's simpler than you would believe. It simply requires an alloy with minimal antimony and tin in certain proportions with enough lube capacity. Most problems with leading occur when: the bullet is too hard, the bullet is undersize or the barrel isn't dimension correctly or rough. |

And each of those variables has other variables. Just bullet diameter can change from seating in the case, crimping style, throat size, thread choke, etc.
So, I'll stand by my reply since I'm not smart enough to diagnose any of the gun's characteristics from a single post.
Maybe someone else can post a set velocity that a gun will start leading. But, the reloading and shooting benches are the only way I know to determine the answer with certainty.

Hope y'all have enough Missouri bullets on hand. They have pulled in their horns, so to speak. Only using a fraction of their molds at this time, for the foreseeable future. Tried to order more for the 480's here, nope. I like their bullets too.

Strange they'd downsize now when anything gun-related is in short supply. Hopefully, they're concentrating on best sellers for now. Hope they're not in trouble. |

I think their 240 grn TC .430" will be just the bullet for my new Winchester 1892 in 44-40. |
