Leading issues are about velocity

AND bullet alloy and bullet fit in the gun. It is a combination of ALL THREE factors.
I suppose I'm just not with the times, or maybe don't care to tinker with what works the way I once did. My favorite SA handgun is a 7.5" Ruger Blackhawk .45 convertible that I bought new in 1983.
Never had the cylinders reamed, never even measured the throats. I almost never use the ACP cylinder, and my .45 Colt load is a 250gr SWC (cast hard) at approx. 1100fps. NO significant leading, Accuracy is 5 shots in one hole 2-2.5inches at 25yds and ringing the 200yd gong on the rifle range 5 out of 6 or better (OFFHAND) when I do my part right.
I disagree with anyone who says you HAVE to get the cylinder throats reamed. It may well be their gun "needed" it, or it may just be they wanted to do it, I don't care. But saying all Rugers "need it done" is just BS.
