Back when I was reloading .38 Special I used soft cast Lead 158 grain SWC coated with graphite dry lubed. Since I drove the bullets at rather moderate speeds, leading wasn't an issue, but after a few sessions of reloading them, I had to clean out the die to seat the bullets properly...
I never did get around buying any jacketed ones or other types, but off hand the Hi-Tek coated bullets I heard about but are there other coatings that do the same thing?
