I just pulled a Tula 9mm round apart. The jacket is some ferrous metal
but it is pretty soft and I got no sparks with a Dremel tool when I
cut the jacket open. The core seems to be lead.
The case was Berdan primed and full of some disk type powder.
I can see that this might wear a bore faster than regular gilding
metal but I am not sure how much that would actually be.
I see no issue with "sparks" or other things that might make it more
dangerous in a range, inside or out.

I have never heard them say a thing at our range (outside) and I see a
lot of those OD steel cases laying around.

The range I'm speaking of is indoor. My SIL shoots at an outdoor
range, and they don't give a **** - like the honey badger.
