I’ve included a pic of some jacketed and some uncoated lead bullets I’ve recovered at the range. I don’t see any evidence of thermal erosion on them.
The brake on my Steel Challenge .22 rf gets really trashed with gunk buildings up in the ports. It’s not lead. It’s extremely hard and requires a bead blaster or a Dremel tool to remove it.
I’ve suspected it’s powder residue.
