Dmazur is absolutely right--hardness plays a small role in whether you'll get leading. Far, far more important is bullet size relative to your barrel.

My own hand cast bullets are about 16 BHN and I push them to 1300+ fps with little to no leading and very good accuracy. The only time I use harder bullets is with my .30-06 loads that go above 2000 fps.
