I personally don't believe that you can honestly shoot lead and get "no" leading(oh ya I'll take heat for that one).I have slugged my barrels and shoot cast that is .001 to .002 over,I have polished my bores,I have tried six different companies bullets ranging from 12bhn to 22bhn and run the velocities from not cycling the gun to as hot as jacketed.While I have been able to get rid of the vast majority(costly aftermarket barrels are the best),I have yet to completely eliminate it.I may get 150 to 200 shots before it is getting bad,but it is happening.Some factory barrels I don't think nothing can be done, they are just too rough.I have even run some of the exact loads that others say they don't get any from(same bullet as long as it is .001 over my bore,same hardness,same powder,same charge)and I still get some.I know it is all my fault bla,bla,bla.but the fact is you get leading issues with lead,not plated.
But with all this said I do enjoy shooting the stuff,I tend to get better groupings(SWC the favorite)with it and there is something about the bare lead that makes it more enjoyable to load my own.
