Question for reloaders, ballistic pards, casting nuts (yes, I think you might be nuts if you enjoy casting), etc. Since most items, gun related, have become a little scarce, including lead, I was wondering if any of you may be able to share some experience with me regarding the following: I currently load two different bullets for .45 caliber cowboy shooting. I use the Lyman #452664 250g RNFP cast bullet for my rifle loads. And the Lee #452-200-RF 200g RNFP cast bullets for my revolver loads. My question is, do any of you have any experience running the Lee 200g bullet through a 24" barrel? The Lee has a significantly smaller lube groove than the Lyman, and that's why I've been reluctant to run it in my rifles. I am wondering if it may result in excessive leading. I load with the minimum listed charge of Trail Boss (hodgdon site) for a posted speed of 705 fps and I cast them at approximately 11 bhn and lube them with Thompsons Blue Angel. I like how the Lyman bullets shoot but was thinking that I can stretch my lead reserves by theoretically getting 5- 200g bullets from the same amount of lead as 4- 250g bullets. Thanks SS
