I have the SW40VE, but I cast from range lead and water drop them. They are the TL groove bullets. I thin the LLA with a little mineral spirits and instead of using the Cool Whip bowl I started with, I now use a Ziplock baggie. I put the bullets in the bag, give small squirt of LLA, and massage the bullets around until they are evenly coated. You get a feel for how much LLA to add to how many bullets after a few attempts. Let them dry, I have used Power Pistol with this, and I see no leading but there is the PP flash and a little smoke from the LLA. But they feed and function just fine without leading the barrel. Forgot to mention that I push through size them to .401" with a Lee die. When I size them I spray them with WD-40 to lube them for the die. After sizing I then do the LLA in the baggie to them. The WD-40 has no affect on the LLA but keeps the bullets from leading the die. That way you don't have to wait for the first layer to dry before sizing only to then have to lube them and wait again. That trick comes from Ranch Dog Outdoors.
