I thought I made you some of those Lyman 429215 gas checked boolits (w/o the gas check). Give them a shot as I will bet you will solve your leading problem .
I assumed you slugged your barrel and cylinder so what are you sizing the boolits to? .001 over?
The only cast boolit I have shot that doesn't lead any of my pistols/revolvers is a Hornady shot out of my .32 H&R and it is a soft as a soft-boiled egg (5 BHN).

Thought this would be worth sharing.....
Ran into some leading doing load development in my S&W 629 (8 3/8 Bbl)..... Bullet was a 429421 plain base cast with 50/50 water dropped WW/Range Lead loaded over H110.... BHN on the Cabinetree was 16 or so when I tested them roughly 24 hours after casting.... Lubed with Carnauba Red.... Leading was near the chamber but cleaned out without much trouble..... Set up a new ladder with a lower set of loads and went back to the range.... Turns out 1400fps is the magic number for this gun, this bullet and this load..... Anything higher I get leading and anything lower does not.....;- )
