Lead with the proper powder is fine in most guns. I never really cared about fouling due to the fact that I planned on cleaning my gun anyways. Get some chore boy copper scrub pads and the lead comes out in 10 seconds. Cheap ammo lets you have more fun at the range...go for it.
Can you elaborate how you use Chore Boy to clean your guns? Thanks.
Certainly, I purchase the copper chore boy scrub pads at Meijer. The only caveat is that some are steel with a copper coating, so you may want to check them with a magnet in store or cut a few strands to ensure they are 100% copper to avoid bore erosion. I then tear a chunk of the pad (maybe an eighth) and wrap it tightly around an old undersized bore brush. Lubricate your bore with your choice oil and go to town. The lead comes out in flakes and you are left with shiny bore.
I do the same usually run a full mag of jacketed through after shooting lead and have never had a leading issue in my 1911.Ironic, I shoot lead 99% of the time. The remaining 1% are jacketed bullets shot to clean the lead from my barrel

with right bullet hardness you can push lead as fast jacketed.....i shoot 45 Colt's with brinell 18 250gr with 24 grains of 296 at 1400fps from a 7 1/2" barrel with no leadin' at all
