OK, all of you Super Blackhawk owners, here is a question for you.
I met a fellow reloader yesterday at the range and we chatted quite a bit. He had this problem.
He has a Super Blackhawk in 44 mag with either a 7 or 7 1/2 inch barrel. He said he can't shoot lead bullets in it because it leads up immediately. After the first round fired it accuracy gets increasingly worse. He has tried lubed bullets with each kind of lube, PC bullets, hard coated bullets. He has used hotter loads as well as lighter loads. Flat based bullets conical based ones, you name it he's tried it and still it leads. He said it leads from the forcing cone to about 3 inches down the barrel. He shot down every suggestion I could think of, having tried them all already. He has a friend who has a Super Blackhawk like his and the friend shoots lead all the time with no leading. I told him I would contact a Ruger tech and see if they could come up with any ideas. What do you guys think?
