This doesn't occur often in pistol bullets because they are shot at lower speeds. Jacketed bullets are mostly copper with a lead core, and are harder. Plated bullets are cheaper, and they work well for pistols. For long range rifles, a jacketed bullet is the best choice.

I always wondered how copper plating was done (I should never have given up on Chemistry at high school!). Keep up the great work. Brian, great post.

I suspect a typo as I'm sure you know the difference. Check spelling on quiet vs. quite. I suspect a typo as I’m sure you know the difference.

The shot tower, bullet molds and lead mining are process examples in the former industry.
