I would forgo the swaged bullets and purchase cast from a reputable manufacturer. Swaged bullets are very soft and most use a dry lube, similar to .22 LR, and often lead barrels because of being so soft with marginal lube. Whenever I purchase bullets I normally buy from Beartooth Bullets (they make bullets in a few diameters for each caliber, and my experience is they use a pretty good lube too).http://www.beartoothbullets.com/
