That was so crazy I had to go look at mine. I bought mine about a month ago.
I have 1k rounds though it out of the box with no cleaning (a good 1/3 to 1/2 of those lead) and see zero leading in my barrel. However, I also dont see those crazy chatter marks.
After 3 barrels I'd be plenty upset. I've only used a Taurus brand customer service once (Rossi) and had pretty good results but I'm still trying to prove that their fix was permanent. I hope they take care of you.
