Shinatagins I say. Or however you spell that.

How is a thin copper plating that sticks to the bullet moving at slow velocity when loaded to lead bullet speeds going to ruin any gun??? You want to ruin a gun? Shoot overly high velocity, heavy for caliber, and in a light weight frame gun. That kills frames which kills guns. In .38/.357 shy away from a steady diet of beyond 158 grain, in .44 shy away from beyond 240 grain. And no gun is a fan of red hot near SAAMI max loads. As for copper plated bullets not being accurate... I'm sure all the competition shooters who pour Rainiers, Barry's, and X-Tremes through there targets would disagree. My guess is too many people are trying to load them to jacketed bullet loading tables because plated bullet info doesn't see much print yet in any loading tables. I have been fine with keeping them at lead bullet loading levels and find them to be more accurate than I am capable or tracking.
