I think my next step is to do a comparison test between my cast bullets and purchased lead bullets with a known hardness. I'm suspecting my biggest issue may be my Alloy hardness. It is very much on the hard side. Many of the explanations in this thread point to it.
I suspect that most of the problems with leading are related to, too hard of an alloy. Consider that .22 Long Rifle bullets are very soft, and are driven to 1280 fps from a rifle without any leading at all (And have been for more than one hundred years without the bugaboo of leading being a problem).
