Bake, I PP for .357Max, .44Mag, and .444. One of the things I like is the fact that the bore is clean except for a trace of powder residue after every shot. It's a process with a learning curve, just like everything else. I suggest that you do some heavy reading over on the castboolits.gunloads.com website, there is a forum on smokeless PP, also one on BP PP, they're different. You'll find more factual info there than you can digest in a couple of sittings, along with more rumor busting info on cast boolits than you could imagine. Try it, you'll like it. Good luck. GW
