Question Questions about Titanium cylinder/Lead wadcutters???

I have a 342PD that states .38 S&W SPL. +P Jacketed...

But meanwhile, I have some lead wadcutter reloads left over in my stash....

Is it safe to shoot a few or will the lead fouling create a mess?
Or is bullet creep the main concern?

Appreciate any help/experiences....

Bullet creep is a problem with heavy loads, not powderpuff target rounds.

In my experience, if you clean out ALL the copper first and have good loads, it should not be a problem at all. I use wadcutters for most training/practice with BUGs.
