I fired 15 rds of Magtech 250 LFP #45D and 15 rds of Winchester 250 LFN #USA45CB. The bullets in both brands appear to be soft, maybe BHN 8 ”€œ 9 or lower !!! Both brands are advertised at 750 FPS at the muzzle.
To my absolute amazement, neither leaded the barrel ??? Just a few particles of unburned powder”¦..The forcing cone was even clean as a whistle !!!
Now I have shot Horn. 200 and 255 LSWC's and Speer 200 and 250 LSWC's as CowBoy loads and it leads the barrel just past the forcing cone for about ½ inch ?!?! All these bullets are .452 except the Horn 255 which is .454. All these bullets are swaged so they got to be soft same as the factory, right ??/ The rest of the barrel is perfectly clear of lead. The muzzle has the lead star, so the lube is apparently doing it's job ???
