    That's why I'm looking at RMR Idaho silver nukes.
    Copper is bougie.
    Best used for making stills anyway.

    I think that is why we test ammo in our firearms. For you speer could be a death sentence. For me it's MagTech 124gr NATO. My EDC hates it. Loves the hell out of speer.

    Nothing for .44 caliber. Phooey. That's the only caliber I have to shoot jacketed bullets due to the tiny gas port in the Ruger .44 carbine.

    Can gas port guns run coated lead bullet?

    Probably, but the port in the Ruger is so tiny and inaccessible I didn't want to experiment with anything and find out I'd turned it from a semi-auto to a straight pull bolt action carbine. Bill Ruger designed it for conventional jacketed bullets and since I can't fix it if I get the port plugged up, I'll stick with them.
