Taurus Tracker Muzzle Brake & cast bullets?
My father just bought a Taurus titanium tracker in 41 mag, 4" adjustabvle sights, muzzle break. Is there going to be any problem shooting cast bullet reloads from this gun because of the brake? I heard/ read about issues with this in the past, any help appreciated.

I did not have any problems with mine. A little lead would build up in the cutout for the ports. It cleaned easily. FYI, the Keith 230 gr bullet is too long for the cylinder when seated in the crimping groove.

As long as you use hard cast bullets there is little trouble. I had some leading when using softer lead bullets. IT is easily cleaned out of the porting with a dental pic.

I have an 8" SS 454 Raging Bull I can shoot jacketed bullets with no problems, but with lead it�s another story. It leads up worse than any revolver I have ever owned. The barrel, forcing cone, cylinder, and last but not least the counter bored ported end of the barrel. Have to scrape it out with a special tool I made (reground flat screwdriver). Stick with jacketed bullets and you will be fine. I do like the way the porting controls muzzle jump.
