Actually, with that bullet it's the direct opposite. Since Laser Cast bullets run ~22 BHN shooting them at target pressures/velocities will most probably cause leading while bumping the pressures up to the top of the range will cause them to seal off the barrel and prevent the hot gasses from running up the side of the bullet and leading the barrel.
Sometimes running bullets too slowly will cause just as much or more leading than running them too fast. Proper bullet fit along with the correct pressures for the bullet hardness is very important.
