Anyone have any experience shooting boolits in the S&W M&P R8?

I've been hand loading for about a year now. I've loaded .357 JFP. Now I'm going to try cast loads for my R8. My first cast loads will be Rodgers Better Bullets.
I've read that the ECM barrels can have problems with leading.
I'm just starting out with casting and have done some practice/test cast for 9mm using pure lead. These were not intended to be shot, just trying out my equipment. going to alloy next week then hopefully pour some 9mm keepers.
I plan on eventually getting a mold for the R8.
Just wanted to know if anyone here has cast for and shot the R8.

Thanks,
R8ed

I had good results with the lee 158 tumble lube design
