Hey all, long time lurker, first time poster;
I'm a fairly new gun owner, but have been shooting since I was a kid. I bought a P320X5 Legion in March and have been looking at reloading given our current ammogeddon. Are cast lead bullets wise to use on this platform? I'm concerned about the (dry by design) nature of the mechanisms with all the fouling. I'm already pretty hyper-diligent about cleaning after pretty much every range trip so perhaps this may not be as crazy an issue as I imagine, but wanted to get some more experienced views on the subject. Looking at picking up some Colorado Bullet Inc. 147gr, and am going to a local shop this weekend for powder/primer. (Who needs to pay a hazmat fee?)
Suggestions for those are also welcome as well. My father and brother are experienced reloaders, so I have a support network and all of the equipment already, but couldn't really easily find any info on whether the lead bullets will or wont be an issue functionally.
