I've tried lead cast...ok for outdoor ranges...too smokey for indoor ranges. I'll stick to plated bullets from Xtreme.

What creates the smoke is the lube. I use Lee Liquid Alox (tumble lube), and there is not much smoke. My cast loads with Trail Boss burn cleaner than the jacketed loads with HP-38 I was using previously.

No lead for me. I try to limit my exposure as much as possible.

No lead here also. Never used it and never will. Well except in a shotgun!!!

I will stick with the plated bullets that I have. Besides, my carry and range practice ammo are one and the same.

Gotcha. Well, I've had home brewed lc and one's I bought from Falcon. Both loaded over W-231 and both smoked something awful, the Falcons more that the homemade ones. Only time I enjoyed shooting them was outdoors on a windy day. I traded the last of my lc for some grips.

No offense, I'll stick with plated.
