I'm not trying to be a linotype salesman here, but FWIW, adding a little lino makes the casting go a lot better, you'll get fewer wrinkled bullets.
Beyond that, the amount of leading you'll get hinges on how polished your bores are (or not), bore size, bullet size, and what you're using for lube.

FWIW, if you have not tried it, I recommend Lee Liquid Alox or a mix of LLA and Johnson's Paste Wax. I often shoot the cast bullets "as cast" with the former, and it works well.
