This stuff ain't rocket science, but there are protocols to adhere to if accuracy without leading is desired.

BHN 12? That's a lot harder than 90% of what I shoot, and a bit harder than than the other 10%. Check out how hard the bullets are in factory ammo.....

Amen! Shoot a hard cast .451diameter acp bullet down a Smith with .454-456 throats and get your Lewis Lead Remover ready.

For pistol plinking, swaged lead bullets from Hornady or Speer work great at moderate velocities and are accurate.
