mv = mv means both masses are the same.

Mv = mV is what you want, where M is the mass of the lead and m is the mass of the brass. Therefore, V = (Mv)/m gives the speed of the brass, which will be greater than the speed of the lead.

If, instead, you put the brass in a vice so it can't move without crushing it, the lead would come out faster.
