    I use a circular slide rule(e6b) when everyone else I know uses an electric one. No batteries to die, and I even have a watch with a slide rule on the bezel and face. They're incredibly handy

    Too hard lead can cause leading too, so harder isn't better. If it's a factory load, and your gun has a good bullet fit, the chances of leading are minimal.
