[QUOTE="MLR, post: 1771058, member: 2176"] I keep seeing articles where when the subject of barrel leading is brought up the blame instantly is blamed on to soft an alloy. If not that then a rough bore. Am I the only one who cringes every time someone says that? In my experience most leading that I have encountered has been caused by undersized bullets more than anything else. With undersized bullets I have experienced more leading with a hard alloy than I have with a soft one. The soft one will to bump up to bore size upon firing whereas the hard one will not allowing gas cutting and leading. I have found very few cases where I couldn't shoot over sized bullets (.001 -.002) without leading. Then again I could just be full of it. Michael [/QUOTE]
