[QUOTE="fariswm, post: 209710, member: 11234"] Are these aluminum bullets copper jacketed, because if they are not I would not shoot them in my rifles? Aluminum when exposed to air oxidizes and when that happens a thin layer of Aluminum Oxide forms on the metal. Aluminum Oxide is commonly found as the abrasive material in many sand papers. If the aluminum is interfacing with the lands and grooves or your rifle, shooting these bullets is the same as running a pieces of sand paper down your barrel every time you pull the trigger. If the aluminum is contained in a copper jacket material then great. [/QUOTE]
