How badly have you leaded up a barrel in a single range outing?
I was poking through my pics and came across one of my 460 S&W Encore. I had been experimenting with light to middle weight loads that I could use for long range target shooting. That heavy 15" pistol with a muzzle brake just wiggled when I lit off a case full of Trail Boss under a 300 gr bullet. 1200 fps was nice but I wanted something around 1400.
Experimenting with moderate lead bullet loads really made a mess out of that thing. By the time I was done for the day the lead was so bad it was caked in the muzzle brake ports.
I never did find the load I wanted. Everything was either too hot, too light, or left a trail of unburned powder. I ended up selling the thing and stuck with my Heavy Colt loads.
