I am shooting Glock 22 and have put several rounds of cast bullets through the stock barrel. With all the concerns about the polyagonal rifling causing lead buld up I did purchase a Federal barrel for 85.00 at a local gun show. I never really had any problems with the stock barrel --- I
was using Laser Cast 170 grn SWC over 6 grns of AA#5. I gave the barrel a thorough cleaning after each range session, but didn't ever experience any appreciable leading.
Since I have started casting my own bullets and shoot them exclusively, I figured the 85.00 was well spent and will be off set quickly by what I save in buying bullets.
