He said, directly:
But since you quoted that, I assumed that you read it.
He said pretty clearly that higher velocities with lead bullets gives you increased leading of the barrel. Which it does...which also will contribute to more firearms problems than barrels that have less lead deposited in them.
People CAN shoot what they want. And some of the things that people like to shoot simply mean they are going to have to clean their guns more often, or risk issues.

Damn Dude, only wanted a discussion. Wow.
Shooter,
gas checks are only needed when running mag speeds with soft bullets. Hard casts in the 14 to 18 range will suffice 1800+ with proper fit and lube.
Semper
Hard casts at 9 mm speeds @ max loads, with what's available lincoln/ Omaha are a no leading problem as most are running 16 hardness.

Which could be good information for any Forum visitors who want to shoot lead but might have held back because they've heard of leading problems.
FWIW, I finally shot up my last ice cream bucket of .38SPCL lead wad cutters and can now try to figger out how to get the lead deposits off the muzzle and cylinder fronts on my S&W Model 19. Without taking off the bluing along with it.
From here on in, it's all jacketed and plated bullets for me.
And--of course--anybody else can shoot whatever they want and be happy.

Well after 30 years of reloading and shooting hard casts I could tell you a very simple way to do that, But you might get your nose further out of joint and wont be able to breathe.
And might as well throw away 5000 rounds of 22's that have unplated lead bullets before they ruin my pistols and rifles.

Actually, you took what he said out of context and put words in his mouth. It didn't look like much of a discussion.

And in a similar fashion, not much for discussion. If you assume that other people have experience also, and it differs from yours, having a discussion generally involves attempting to find out what the differences are and why, as opposed to assuming you are right, getting pissy about it, and making negative comments about others.
If nothing else, stopping the ridiculous commentary like "And might as well throw away 5000 rounds of 22's that have unplated lead bullets before they ruin my pistols and rifles." might be a plan.
Though if you want to get rid of those, I'll take them.
After all, no one has said "don't shoot lead." They've said, "when shooting lead, be careful of increased leading, and make sure to clean as necessary."
(As an academic comment, "making the lead used harder" is often not the solution for leading issues. Grant Cunningham has a pretty good article on the basics regarding bullet hardness here, though there isn't anything about how bullet lube or sizing can make a difference, among other things. Another discussion by Glen Fryxell can be found here.)
