Some good advice above for staying out of trouble.

I would add that the easiest way to proceed with possible leading is to shot it in your gun. There are lots of leading variables the guys have laid out and lots of tests to help estimate what's about to happen. Or you can shoot one to find out.

I've been shocked many times expecting leading from high velocity, softer bullets, that weren't sized correctly, that had bevel bases; through a gun with no consistency in cylinder diameters, and groove diameters not matching cylinders or bullets.
Everything seemed off and the leading never happened.

Leading has hundreds of threads and thousands of posts. I always test for leading before going down that road.

Nowadays, I powder coat (PC) and my concerns have evaporated.
