[QUOTE="warboar21, post: 2696696, member: 88146"] The most important thing for shooting lead is to slug your barrel and fit the bullet to it accordingly. Since we're talking 10mm i'll talk about them. Factory jacketed ammo is usually .401". So if your barrel is .400 or .401 then for lead you would want .402-403". Since lead is softer than copper it will swage down to the barrel and seal it. If you were to shoot .401" out of a .401" barrel you might have the bullet not fully engage the rifling and skid down the barrel and deposit lead. Properly sizing a bullet to a particular barrel will almost always solve any leading issue you may have had in the past. [/QUOTE]
