No offense meant sir, but I believe there is some confusion in your post.
The ammunition manufactures don't market these cartridges on the basis of which one keeps your revolver cleanest.
There specifically meant for use in in-door ranges. Where airborne lead, barium and antimony could case severe health, and legal liability problems.

No, I wasn't "Confused", as I knew the primary reason, was that lead free ammo, had been designed, specifically for health reasons(As you have indicated)! However, my assumption was, that since this ammo, was lead free, that it would probably not cause as much(Harder to clean, barrel fowling!)as standard(Non-lead free)ammo(True or untrue?)! And, if this was true-then I wanted to attempt to find out, if there could be any differences(Between, whatever the available brands are?)that there might be? Just my "Theory" but, I thought that if there was no lead, going through the barrel-then(Hopefully?)this should mean no lead in the barrel, to have to clean out(Hence, my thinking that whatever bullet residue, was left in the barrel, to clean out, might be minimal?)? Please do, correct me if I'm wrong? Otherwise, I would still like to know what various brands, of this lead free ammo, is available, as well? I will appreciate anyone answering this! By the way(Rufe Snow)is that your Luger, in the picture(It looks nice!)? Thanks! 0 -

My personal experience with this type of ammo has been minimal, can't say which one will leave your revolver cleanest?
Midway, www.midwayusa.com carries CCI BLazer Clean-Fire, Federal BallisticClean, and Winchester Super Clean NT, ammo in their catalog. Not all of this ammo is completely "lead-free" as one brand has a lead projectile, that is copper plated.
Thank you, that's my "Test Eagle"0 -
RufeSnow:
1)Thanks, for all the "Lead free" ammo information! I'll check out those Brands?
2)And, I hope that I didn't offend you, in any way-in my previous Post(I certainly, didn't mean to, if I did!)?
3)Although, I have not tried them yet, a long time ago(Before I had heard of any other newer, Brands of "Lead free" ammo)I purchased some Federal "Nyclad" .38 Special ammo! I assumed that these "Nyclad's" would probably, keep the barrel cleaner(But, I don't know how much of the plastic-like(Or, nylon)type coating, might be left in the barrel, after a Gun Range session(Nor, how difficult(Or, what is the best way, to remove this coating from the barrel?)compared to normal non-lead free ammo, barrel fowling(You can see, that I haven't done any shooting yet!))? Since I had just recently, heard about the latest, lead free ammo, I thought that since the Federal Nyclad's, were a good, self-defense round-that I would save these, for that purpose?
4)How does that fine looking "Test Eagle" of yours, shoot? Is that gun, as "Mint" as it looks in the picture?0 -

I've owned it for many years but never shot it because it has the old flat/torsion mainspring, which are very fragile.
It looks better, condition wise in the photo, then it really is. Although it's all matching, there is at most 70% of the original finish remaining.0
