Cast Bullets

specifications such as caliber and diameter. Furthermore,
cast bullets which are precisely molded also increase the accuracy of a handgun, and sometimes even a rifle. High quality cast bullet suppliers exist in

All About Lead Bullets
All exposed lead bullets caused trouble along the way. After firing, the lead grind with the firearm bore and leave amounts of lead residue lying around. Therefore, the firearm barrel may need cleaning after
firing lead bullets. 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. The bullet is usually produced by forcing a lead in to a cup shaped copper case. However, most copper cases
are made of an alloy called gliding metal that contains about 95% copper and 5% zinc. This alloy is used as it is much harder than pure copper and leaves much less copper residue
behind. 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.
