Nothing could be further from the truth. 99.9% of the shooters out there couldn't tell leading from antimonial wash if there life depended on it. Nor would they be able to read a bbl if leading actually occurred. Namely:
They've been shooting lead bullets doing over 1000fps for 90+ years now, you might want to brush up on your reading. Heck the lowly 22lr blammo everyone buys @ wal-mart (federal 510's) is a lead bullet doing 1235fps.
Try reading about what a guy named keith designed/tested. Here's a link to a 1929 lyman mold catalog (page 90) listing the "keith" style bullet, the 429421.
It pays to read, by thinking a lead bullet will only do 1000fps. Is taking away a whole world of bullets/bullet designs.

rwsmith is referring to keeping soft swagged lead projectiles below 1000
He is 100% correct in his statement.
Your reply is a reference to cast projectiles and has ZERO to do with his comment
You need to read about the difference between a swagged lead projectile and a cast lead projectile.
