Solved the leading problem in Single Six

These are the same as the minimags except that they have a thick polymer coating rather than a 'copper wash' which helps to tighten up the gap in the cylinder chambers thus zero leading in the chamber after 200 rounds. The usual copper washing on minimags is too thin and gets gas cut easily and causes excessive leading after 50 rounds. I still get slight leading in the forcing cone and the rifling just after the cone, but that is easily cleaned up by switching to the magnum cylinder and running a cylinder of actual copper plated magnum rounds. If you don't have the magnum cylinder, CCI Stingers would also clean up the forcing cone and lets you keep shooting pretty much all day.
No need to mention these are much cleaner burning and will not leave any excessive carbon, just light gray ash like build up which can be wiped off easily with light solvent.
The very first batches of this stuff (with red coating) used to leave specks of red dust all over, but this purple stuff seems to have good adhesion, but again if you are using these in a semi-auto, you will probably see purple specks around the feed ramp depending on the feed geometry.
Loading seems very consistent, i have just finished my first case (3200 rounds, 8 jars of 400) and not a single failure to fire thanks to the heavy hitting hammer of a single action revolver...
I recommend you try these if you have leading problems in your revolver with other copper washed stuff.
