What is the general consensus on when leading is considered excessive or unacceptable. I realize that any gun/ammo combination will lead to a certain degree, much as jacketed ammo will leave copper fouling.
I was shooting my SBH 44 with some new 240gr bullets I loaded up. It seemed to be getting some small traces of lead in the 1/2 half of the barrel (by the muzzle) after shooting maybe 25 rounds (at which point my transfer bar stopped working correctly, but that is another story. I honestly don't remember if my other loads lead to this degree or not, but there is usually some lead in the barrel for me to clean.
