I zeroed them out. Maybe I won’t get any leading with the small diameter. Hot dog down a hallway, and all that... 😳🤣

I just slugged one of those bullets. ETA: I did pull these bullets past the crimp, and they were shiny, so that have reduced the diameter.

Soft(ish) lead bullet + very tight expander + uber-tight crimp = distorted bullet.Originally Posted by FrankB

If they don't touch the grooves, expect leading. The powder will blast through the unsealed gap and spray molten lead on the bore ahead of the bullet.

Not another dime.
Just get some copper Chore Boy for cleaning and stop overthinking it.
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......
This is the best answer.
The lead and lube are going to increase your cleaning time but it will all come off.

Yup. It’s not like I’ll be cleaning a leaded rifle barrel.
Shoot a box thru your gun and see how much leading you get. You may be pleasantly surprised with minimal leading and better accuracy than the 130 fmjs.
One of my target loads is a Swaged 148 HBWC, accurate and very little leading. I prefer hard cast 158s for IDPA....
Might also depend on how smooth and broken in your barrel might be as well. I agree, go shoot em and see.
