Discover the Story Behind Lead Bullets

Lead bullets gave
trouble all the way. For example, when they grind with the firearm bore, a signicant amount of lead residue was left behind. That is why firearm barrel needed cleaning after every fireoff. As a result,
jacketed bullets were invented to counter this problem caused by lead bullets. Jacketted bullets come with the lead core wrapped around a this copper case in such way that the lead parts of the bullet will not touch the bore of the
firearm. This bullet is usually formed by forcing the lead into the cup shaped copper case. Although some jacketed bullets use pure copper cases, most use an alloy of copper
called gliding metal which contains about 90%-95% copper and 5%-10% Zinc. This alloy leaves less copper residue behind and is much harder in nature. Even though, some residue is left in the gun barrel after firing these bullets, it is much far less
compared to lead bullets. In addition, this does not seem to affect the accuracy of the bullet. Jacketed bullets are available for both handguns such as pistols and also
rifles.
