I would like to politely disagree with posters suggesting the PC simply replaces grease, and would you use grease only, etc.
I use PURE LEAD boolits that I powdercoated. I originally got these for paper patching until I found out about PC.
My .38-55 barrel looks cleaner now than when I began using PC. It shines. This with 32 grains of 3031 behind a 255 grain pure lead boolit. I can make 1.5 inch groups at 50 yards with it - fine accuracy for a 100-year-old Winchester with a peep sight.
Never a single trace of leading.
Ditto my .45-70. 400 grain pure lead boolits, coated, exit a clean bore and group well.
I cannot speak for above 1800 fps I suppose, but in my experience, up to this speed with PC, neither of my rifles needed any checks.
