The commercial caster I have been buying from has discontinued 230 gr RNL.
I shoot lead because I am a CRB.
I am currently shooting a G-21 with a Lone Wolf barrel.
I am looking for a 185 to 200 gr SWC or TC that will feed reliably.
Casting is out of the question for the foreseeable future.

Please don’t recommend something unless it works in your LW barrel.
Please post COAL that works for you.

If I need to change brand of barrels to accomplish this I will.
Recommendations appreciated…

I have found a successful Precision Bullets load in my G21 with Lonewolf barrel. Not as cheap as lead though unfortunately, but it does work. Original charge was 5 gr, I worked up to 5.3 which shoots nicely and cycles very reliably. I had to take the OAL down from the recommended 1.225 to 1.200" to get the round to seat all the way.

200 gr. RNFP
5.3 gr. ww231
CCI spp
mixed brass
OAL=1.200"
