[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2494688, member: 5412"] Welcome to reloading. Don't worry about shooting lead from your pistols. I've ran many thousands of rounds down my competition guns. At the end of the match when cleaning take a look down the barrel after its been removed from the gun, and if you see some smear marks, that's leading. I use the all copper scrubbing pads that are sold in the kitchen detergent section at walmart to clean out the lead. They will separate into sections, so I'll feed a section into the barrel, and run it from the breach through the barrel with a brass rod just smaller than barrel diameter. About three passes, and it will be clean, and ready for the next session. If you buy the coated lead bullets like Bayou bullets, or BBI (Black Bullet International), you get bullets cheaper than jacketed, but more expensive than lead with wax lube. No barrel leading though, and less smoke. [/QUOTE]
