[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1206911, member: 5219"] Why not shoot copper bullets after jacketed bullets? The jacket material on a cup and core bullet is harder with approximately 5% zinc in the alloy. I have read that a pure copper bullet like the barnes bullet will have a great deal of its material ''rubbed off'' the bullet if they are shot through a barrel that had previously fired jacketed bullets. The excess copper left in the bore contributes to fouling and might be severe enough to affect accuracy. I swear I read it in one of Barnes loading books or on their website, but darned if I can find it now. [/QUOTE]
