Because I spend the next month scraping it off the outside front edges of my cylinder.
I don't mind the blackened rings round the chamber mouths but the raggedy silver-colored stuff on the outside really bugs me! Plated or jacketed from now on for me.

I do not like it much myself. It has its place in some arenas bit I could not agree more.

I whole-heartedly agree. I quit shooting the messy stuff years ago. I don't hunt anything but the wild paper (DW Armadillo, preferred) target.

Are you using soft lead or a hardened lead alloy?
Hot loads?
Endeavor to persevere,
Press on regardless.

Send all your unwanted lead this way; I'll put it to good use!

Varied bullets from different sources.
Velocities varying from Mouse Phart to 750 FPS.

I shoot jacketed bullets for the same reason. I am pretty anal about keeping my guns clean & shooting lead makes cleanup much harder, IMO. Although now that Hornady has discontinued my favorite 375SM bullet, I may be forced to switch to lead on that one eventually.

I don't mind shooting lead, but I sure hate cleaning up afterward
I do have some lead wadcutters, but most everything is jacketed, some plated. Since I'm only shooting .357, .45, 9mm, .223, bullet selection is easy
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
