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.....

Pure sh*t. Military and Police load that was a pooch and leaded the barrel at 950. What the hell good is that in a 41 mag. Shot 1 box, kept the other for posterity.

Hahaha!! Don't blame the bullets. Blame yourself for not matching the bullets/ammo to your gun. The same precepts apply to factory loaded lead bullet ammo as when casting/loading your own. There's so many reasons those bullets would lead your barrel, and not the next guy's, as to be confounding. The factories gotta strike a happy medium, and there are a helluva lot of guns falling outside that medium that fall short in accuracy/leading which have throats smaller than bores, throats that don't match the "average", and I could go on and on. Do not put your faith in the factories (or the commercial lead bullet purveyors) knowing omnisciently what your gun needs.
