[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 70174, member: 8843"] Well , most of the 30-30 factory ammo I've seen has a good bit of exposed lead on the nose , I know that is hotter rounds like the 30-06 this lead melts away pretty quick mostly outside of the barrel due to the heat caused from the bullet having friction with the air and other factors. with most hunting bullets their is a lead alloy core which is a little harder than pure lead but still softer than the copper jacket. the lead is left exposed to help aid expansion , basicaly if the same lead alloy and copper jacked is used to make three differant bullets , one with a fully procected by copper point one with a small amout of lead exposed and one with say half the bullet exposed the latter bullet will expand faster then the second and lastly the first assuming that the bullets are all the same shape only differance is the amout of exposed lead. As for switching between the moly and the non coated bullets I realy can't comment as I have never had a reason to do it , with my guns I figure out what they like to eat and thats about all their fed from then on out. Pardon my having nose trouble but may I ask whay your going the route of the lever action gun and that caliber? not that their is anything wrong with that combo just wondering if their was some particular reason [/QUOTE]
