[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 2970139, member: 108576"] Well put 436. Back in the early 90's I bought a used S&W 1006,re-conditioned by S&W and sold to the public from Law Enforcement returns.New barrels and accurate with copper/lead core bullets that could fully obturate in the bore but lead bullets leaded so badly I had to soak the barrel in carb cleaner for a couple of hours and clean with a bristle brush to get the lead out and back then I could never find gas checks for 40 cal bullets back then. So I slugged my barrel,slightly over .400 so a .400 so lead bullet could never obturate in the barrel so I ordered a custom die(cheap)from Lee to size at .401 (and another at .402 just incase) and never had a leading problem again. Then I found out about powder coating,so the lead never comes in contact with the barrel.Leading became a past problem,no more leading. I also shot a Glock that leaded some but Powdercoating bullets fixed that problem too. [/QUOTE]
