I just tried reloading so .40s with lead bullets. After I read some threads about it, I relized I should have bought bullests with a larger diameter. The ones I have are .400 and when I shoot them they leave a fair amount of leading. My question is, do I have to slug my barrel or are all XD .40s the exact same? And now that I have leading, what is the best way to clean it out?
