I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I wouldn't worry about lead vs jacketed and just shoot what you want.

The only pistol that I only shoot lead out of is an early S&W 1917. While the barrel is bright and shiny the rifling is very very faint. I don't know if it is that way because of wear or if that is how it came from the factory.

It shoots just fine but I figured lead would be easier on what rifling there is.
