>Be careful about uncoated lead bullets. The ignition of the powder and instant heat at the base of the bullet causes lead vapor which may be inhaled.

Can you prove this? I have recovered my cast bullets and bases look the same before and after. Lead has a high enough heat content and the heat is applied for such a short time, that nothing happens.
Some folks do get so leading on their compensators, probably from the hot gasses being blasted past the bullet while it is passing through the comp., but I haven't had that happen with any of my comped guns.
Go to Penn Bullets, Mastercastbullets.com, or Missouri bullets for cast.
Go to Precision Bullets or Bayou for coated lead bullets.
Go to Montana Gold or Precision Delta for jacketed bullets.
Be sure you know the actual groove diameter of you barrel before ordering lead bullets and be sure the bullets are at least 0.001" larger than the actual groove diameter of your barrel.
I love 155gn L-SWCs in my .40s. I'm too poor to shoot jacketed.
