Good question...
I don't really know the answer, but am looking forward to reading it. The only things I do know is older black powder rifles were often made of softer steels that would wear much faster with jacketed bullets. Lead slugs will also upset better to seal against blow-by, give higher velocities and give better expansion on target. All of these things I am very sure you also knew as well.
