Got a question for you lead bullet shooters. I received some 255 grain Keith style bullets from Dry Creek today. I was thinking about using H-110 powder, however Hodgdon told me that this powder would probably create alot of leading in the barrel since it usually pushes high velocities.

Does anyone use H-110 with this grain lead bullet and what is your favorite load with H-110 and the 255 grain lead bullet?? Should I try something like IMR4227 or H-4227 which seems to push slower velocities??? Sorry for the newbie question but this is my first try at reloading lead bullets for my handgun.
