[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 3082164, member: 423"] Which brings up a point I don’t hear discussed. People talk about “shoot jacketed ONLY omgzorz!!!!!1!!” But I don’t see any mention 99% of the time about making sure it isn’t an exposed lead base. If the leading from cast lead bullets is primarily from the base, the wouldn’t an exposed lead base on a FMJ be nearly as bad? If leading in a suppressor is worse with lead vs FMJ, then it’s either a chemistry/alloy difference, or it’s not from the base of the bullet. If it’s not from the base, it almost must be leading of the bore that is being redeposited from the bore to the can. If that is the case, then if a coated bullet reduces leading of the bore it would also reduce leading of a can. A possible way of validating this would be with a muzzle brake with multiple ports. Run it with jacketed, plain lead, and coated lead. [/QUOTE]
