Gentlemen. Has anyone cosidered that all that "dirty crap" is coming from the lubricant on those lead bullets? As a cast bullet shooter for over 40 years, I've found that a lot of the gunk on my handguns comes from the bullet lube. When shooting the few jacketed bullets I've tried, thare has been some ash left, but not like the mess from lead. I'll stick to lead anyway.
