Sharpshooter
I have been trying to find a good cast load for 9mm but I am having issues. I am using Vance bullets 120 gr lead cast bullets, bought at the Indy 1500, and Winchester 231 and Hercules Bullseye powder. I have tried several charges from the starting charge up to just under the max charge for these powders. I am using the Lyman 48th edition reloading manual. Some of the loads I have tried have been fairly accurate but I am having really bad leading, and thats after shooting five shot groups. I use Vance bullets for my 38 spl loads and have very minimal leading, and they shoot great! Any ideas on what I need to do to minimize the leading? Maybe different powder? I am shooting these loads through a Smith and Wesson 5904. Thanks!
