Depends on the gun but sometimes exposed lead bullets don't feed well unless the feedramp is polished out. Plated bullets I would expect to feed like jacketed bullets...again it may come down to a gun thing.

FYI - shooting 'reloads' of unknown origin or that you personally did not handload is a problem that manifests itself in exploding guns. Not to be compared with the millions of handloaded rounds fired every year in semi auto handguns by competent shooters.
