45/70 choke
«

My rifle seems to have a choked bore......... the groove diameter is .457 at the chamber and .455 at the muzzle. I have tried .457 .458 .459 .460 diameter bullets and I get leading with all . Should i be using .455 > I have also tried .456 . All of the bullets above were tried with pure lead to additional varying degrees of hardness using wheel weights mxed with lead. Thanks

I doubt if the choke is causing your problem. What are you using for loads? Also, you might do better with a lead/tin alloy like 20 : 1. I'd try that sized .458 with 13gr of Unique for starters. Sometimes a lack of tin seems to promote leading.
