I'm planning to buy a 10mm soon (how soon depends on my finances)

I enjoy reloading, and will for this pistol. I also plan to shoot cast bullets. now I know after shooting cast ammo, one should clean out the barrel.

but lets say for the sake of arguement, I goto the range, shoot a few hundred rounds of cast, and then reload my defensive rounds. on my way home, before I can clean it, I have to use it.

My question is, how dangerous is this really? should the gun be ok?

for that matter, what about shooting a string of the SD ammo after the cast to maintain proper practice? is it a "non-problem"?
