I just got some nasty leading on my 9 today.
short version: I shoot Lyman 120 TC with NRA 50/50. I shot about 1000 lead heads through the barrel, no problems. I then shot about 300 Jword, factory load bullets. I half *** cleaned with a bore snake after ea 100 shots. Returned to my lead loads, they always worked, and they started to lead up my barrel.
I am thinking the copper wash, remaining from the marginal cleaning, got the leading started.
Your opinions? ( the barrel has not leaded since then.)
