I shoot .45colt & .45acp, .38spl, .357 mostly for targets with hardcast lead. After shooting a couple hundred rounds then comes the cleaning sesion, I find lead or lube in barell. I use less than max reloads, usually round 7-800 fps and according to the books I shouldn't be seeing this. Is it the type of bullets? I use bull-x brand and some made by Williams from Moore OK. Is there something I'm doing wrong? What can I try to keep leading to a minimum?
