Sometimes if you load too light you will cause leading because there isn't enough pressure to cause the bullet to seal in the barrel. When the gasses blow by the sides you get leading. I have a feeling that's your problem especially since you see the leading within 10 rounds. Up the charge weight a little and see if it clears up, I think it will.
