[QUOTE="Deleted member 118572, post: 2193119"] Leading is caused by powder gases blowing past the bullet and melting it. In that rifle with BP you could shoot pure lead with a touch of tin IF the bullet is the correct size. Too small and too hard is a receipe for leading. Slug the bore, go at least +3 thou, use SPG, lube with pure lead w/just enough tin added to cast well. Getting a 45-90 to shoot well with cast is easy compared to a 270 WCF ! [/QUOTE]
