"Harness issues agreed. Too hard = leading just as too soft or too small. 100% agreed."
I stated that poorly.
What I meant by the comment is that bullets that are very hard do not cause leading if properly lubed and are of the correct size. IF the diameter is correct, you will not get gas blowby even with very hard (read water dropped or oven heat treated bullets). There are those who will swear that bullets cast from straight lino (BHN 22) or monotype (BHN 28) will lead the bore because they are too hard. This is untrue in my experience. That said, bullets mixed with the 3:2 alloy shoot just as well, are not quite as hard and also will not lead. It saves lino and still casts well.
Sorry for the confusion.
