I'm always skeptical of shooting anyone else's reloads. You've got to trust that they're responsible enough and have enough attention to detail to not overcharge a cartridge. In lead projectiles, they need to properly alloy/heat treat the lead to bring hardness up to about 18 or so for 9mm. They also need to properly size it. If it's not sized correctly, not lubed correctly, and has soft alloy(like just using wheel weights at about 11), it will lead your barrel pretty bad.
Be careful removing lead. Most chemical lead removers will harm your bore if left in for too long. Most solvents only soften the lead a bit and loosen the fouling underneath the lead to make it flake off easier. One cleaning tool that's especially effective is the lewis lead remover.

It uses brass screen to physically scrape the lead off of the bore. The screen is much softer than the barrel and won't cause damage.
If you also have a 9mm glock DO NOT shoot those lead reloads out of it. The polygonal rifling in the glock can get fouled easily by the lead and cause overpressure issues(especially in .40).
