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.

This whole sparks down range thing because of residual powder in the air
is got me thinking... if there is enought powder down range, how much is
in the air at the firing line where there are lots of sparks in the air?
