Model 52 Leading Problem
First topic message reminder :
Hi All,
I have a M52-2 which I would like to use for center fire. The problem I have is that the chamber gets lead deposits very quickly which causes the spent case to stick resulting in failure to eject. After about 50 rounds I start getting ejection problems. This happened with the original factory barrel, and is still happening with a Clark 52 1:10 twist barrel. The load I am using is the Roze Distribution 148 GR WCHB reloads. A few questions....
Would WCDE lead less that WCHB?
Would plated WC 38 special be accurate? I think Atlanta arms sells them but I heard they are not accurate.
Any other loads out there which would lead less?
Best,
Joe
