Might have been cabelas...but it expired. There's wolf gold out there for

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?

Exactly. The muzzle blast is far more "sparky" than this soft steel
hitting the backstop.
This stuff is so soft it was clogging up the cutoff wheel in my
Dremel. I can't see how you could get a spark out of it.

Well, the Tula stuff *did* throw some sparks somewhere, 'cause that's
how the guy discovered I was using the damn stuff.
