Gas Checks - Cast Lead Bullet for Magnum Revolvers

[usabaker]

One last thing about the DE, I think they suggested no lead as it has a gas port and polygon rifling, two things they thought would give trouble with lead. I had no problems with either. There's lots of variables with cast though...

Thanks for the tip's Jim! I'll put them to use. I don't own a DE (wish I did), I was just using ammo developed for the DE in my Redhawk.

May I suggest an easier path than casting and gas checks. Save the time, equipment expense and lead exposure and buy copper plated bullets by X-Treme bullets.

Steve, thanks for the tip but I already have the equipment, less the .44 mold and access to as much range lead as I want. I did go over to the site and with price and shipping, I would be looking at .17 Cents per bullet which is a decent price. I'll take a look at the rifle offerings.
