Default That is a swaged bullet......
it's very soft and will lead in revolvers over around 1000 fps. Worse in rifles.

Get a cast semi wadcutter. I'd prefer coated. The same crimp applies as people mentioned above would work.

If you load them in a tubular mag and don't want them pushing deeper, get an 'M' die.
