Sorry just getting started and wanted to make sure I am close. I am using lee 124 gr 6 cavity 9mm with 3:1 pb:lino water dropped. This is after 5 shots and there seems to be more than the photos show. Is this leading our too much lube?

What happens when you run a patch through it?

#1 sure looks like leading. Put some turpentine on a patch which is as tight as you can bump through the bore and the lead will come out. May take 3 or 4 patches.
#3 looks sort of like maybe the boolit is not seated deep enough and is shaving lead on the chamber.
It would help us a lot if you said what was done to the barrel as far as cleaning goes, before you took the picture. To me, a lot of what is in the picture looks proud of the barrel steel as apposed to being ironed into it.

I'd say run a dry patch to remove any loose powder fouling and let's have another look
Run a patch and see if it is powder/lube residue. Looks like it could be just residue, cause you can see it at the step in the barrel.

I did not do a thing to the barrel. "proud" not sure what that means!

Proud means standing tall, as in higher than the barrel steel, the particles in your barrel look like debre that is loose and just hanging there. Most times leading has an ironed on ( pressed in look )
If you did nothing to the barrel then run a patch or two through it and take another look and another Pic. Could be a little leading there, but if the barrel has not had a patch or two through it then it can be hard to tell.

so I could not find any patches. I ended up using a paper towel once through.

you own guns, you shoot said guns, how do you clean them without any patches ?
Do you have any solvent ? brushes? (= more than one,) chore boy, 0000 steel wool ?
Have you ever truly cleaned a firearm ? Let me ask, what do you think the crud in your barrel is ?
Stay tuned I am sure help is on the way. We will get you all straightened out.

Old tshirts are my patches of choice. cut to about 1 inch square. possible leading near muzzle. run a wet patch then a dry and see what it looks like. then brush several strokes with a bronze brush. if it persists it's lead and you need some chore boy. it may just be powder fouling and come right out. lead at the muzzle indicates running out of lube. how are your boolits lubed?
Thanks for the hazing Wolf.
That is what I use as well. Just getting the reloading room in the newish house in order and cannot find what I did with them. I used Alox to lube them.

Old Tees seem to be a standard. I use them too.
Yep.

My mother-in-law lives with us and will only sleep on flannel sheets, I have a lifetime supply of cleaning patches. Cut up into squares and dipped into Ed's red solvent I can clean up just about anything. If it takes more to remove lead, which I do not remember the last I had to use it, there is always a little wrap of Choryboy around the cleaning brush.
Lead is an inevitability in life, sooner or later you are going to have to deal with it! It is no big deal.

I know. I just have this personality if it is staring me dead in the face I am still hesitant. I'm a dummy.Nothing bad meant by it Joe,
Clean it up and happy shooting.
Anyway I will get some solvent with a patch then put up some photos.

What does the barrel measure?
What are you sizing to?
What lube are you using?
What is the load you are using?
Are you using a Lee FCD?
Answer these then we can help you to not get leading anymore.
Just curious... have any of you tried Powder Coating your cast bullets? Been doing this for quite some time. Better accuracy, able to increase velocity and much less leading of my barrels. bp
