I purchased a box of Speer 44 Cal  240GR SWC.  They do not have any lube on them.  Would I expect to see a lot of leading in the barrel?  If I can return them I might as the sales guy said they were lubed. Screwy  Any comments/suggestions much appreciated.  Worship

I would probably return them or swap them out for lubed bullets. You could lube them yourself,  but you should get what you pay for. Just my 2 cents.

Shoot them and you will be scraping lead out of your barrel for weeks. I would return them.

Or....take this as an opportunity to get into bullet casting and making your own home lube Wink.  I've been castig my own for quite some time and there are all kinds of home-brew bullet lube recipes out there.
