Not only accuracy, but under-size Bullets promote Leading of the Barrel as 'early' ( or even continued ) hot Gasses go around the Bullet taking micro-droplets of Molten Lead with them, which then adhere to the Barrel Bore.

Having tried to melt lead with a torch on many occasions, I find it extremely difficult to comprehend how lead could soften enough in the millisecond that it takes the projectile to exit the barrel.
If you have a source for this I would love to read it. I always believed that it was due to the inherent softness of lead and the hardness of steel.
