Details
Federal's .38 Special lead round nose load is an economical
round for target shooting. Packaged in boxes of 50, these cartridges use
reloadable Boxer-primed brass and fire a 158-grain bullet at a 760 feet per second,
generating light recoil. Â This round is
best suited for outdoor ranges due to the potential for lead exposure. Some
indoor ranges prohibit use of lead round nose bullets.

A: Yes, shooting a lot of lead bullets will cause lead to build up in your barrel, and this is pretty true of any lead bullet. However, cleaning the bore/removing this lead with a good solvent and brush/patches is not difficult at all.
