There's wolf gold out there for 27 or 28 cents...brass and non steel bullets...as good as the 55 grain federal. Not Russian wolf. 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. Do you think your experiment in bullet disassembly fairly duplicates what happens when a high speed steel round strikes an indoor range backstop in terms of sparks? I don't know. Or maybe steel bullets fragment more dangerously than non-ferrous bullets? I doubt seriously that he thinks any of that. What do you think indoor range back stops are typically comprised of? I have seen vids of barrels sawn in half lengthwise after heavy use of steel versus lead bullets, and the barrels that shot steel showed much heavier wear. That's obvious to the most casual observer. As for steel versus brass versus aluminum cartridge cases, I can only guess the steel cases, being harder, cause more wear to the internals of the firearm, but that shouldn't be an issue for the range. When I was shooting 9mm, I bought a lot of aluminum-cased ammo and never had a problem with it. It cycled fine in my semi-autos. What specific "internals" are you guessing about? Do you think how the internals are made and what they are made of factor into your guesstimates? I am thinking of buying a gun and since you are the ranking expert in firearms, I'd like to pick your brain on the subject. I hope you don't mind. ;-) -- |
