>45 Colt Lead

I saw a box of 250 255 gr rnd nose flat tip made by HSM out of Montana. It was 34.99 a box. Would I have any leading issues? I'll be doing a moderate load in a 7.5 and 4 5/8 length barrels in Blackhawks. Probably use AA #5. 11 gr or so.

soft lead swagged bullets I'd stay away from... most cast bullets will be fine without a gas check at medium high velocities...

I'm not familiar with that bullet to know if it's cast or swagged...
