[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 910638, member: 51650"] Hardness of the alloy and quality of the lube are more important than size for preventing leading. Slugging the bore uses a much larger bullet- 41cal in 40 cal, 40cal in 38 cal etc. But HarperC is correct as it doesn't matter much in pistols. Cast bullet benchrest sure. But if the first batch is squirrely then try one size up. I have found commercial hard lubes less .than satisfactory. NRA formula has always worked best. KB [/QUOTE]
