I'd like to fire "lighter" loads at the range in my 45 and plan on using lead bullets. I've checked with the manufacturer and they confirm that I can use lead in my Para Ordnance. When I asked a number of other fellow shooters about lead,however, I get two completely different stories. One group confidently tells me to never shoot lead through any SA, the other says absolutely no problem. Now I know some gun manufacturers clearly say no lead, but obviously many others don't have a problem with it. Can anyone explain this simply or have I stumbled on a conundrum? I religiously and regularly clean my guns so that won't be the problem and, frankly, copper can leave very hard stains in the barrels. So, is there a difinitive answer or are there two sides to this issue?
