Have any of you folks had any problems with leading when using Oregon Trails bullets? They claim that you can load them up just like a jacketed bullet, which I doubt, with no leading. I followed their loading sheet somewhat for a 357 with a 158 grain bullet. They call for 14.2-15.3 grains of 2400. I...
