Before you decide to recycle those 160 grain wadcutters, coat them with Lee Liquid Alox tumble lube and try them again. This is my standard treatment for hard commercial bullets, and it usually eliminates leading. Easy to do and doesn't cost much. I tumble lube all commercial cast bullets these days and it has proven to work extremely well...

Sounds like the alloy was funky, too soft/hard?! (nm)

That conjures up many naughty thoughts and deviations.
