What are metal bullet casings made of?
Many metals and alloys are used to manufacture bullets. The chief considerations are preservation of gun barrels, kinetic energy transfer (stopping power), penetration (a combination of hardness and weight) Some bullets are designed to penetrate others to shatter into flechettes. The steel or copper cladding is essential for this action. Common bullet metals are: * Copper casings with lead in the bullet itself * Various lead alloys without casings to improve ease of casting * Tungsten fo hardness and ecological sensitivity in military rounds * Bismuth for eco-sensitivity * Depleted Uranium for kinetic energy transfer * Iron or steel shot for shotgun pellets for eco-sensitivity
Can steel shot be used in a Model 12 Winchester with a nickel steel barrel?
I had the same question so I bought a box of Winchester steel shells [#7 shot target loads 1200 fps] and shot them through my M12 nickel steel barrel with a Briley Mod. Choke tube. The plastic build up was more than I expected but after a good cleaning the barrel still looks good, no damage using target loads and they broke targets. I am going to shoot more through that barrel and keep checking.

Which material is used for making bullet proof materials?
they use (Lead) because it has a low melting point and easy to mold and cool. they also use it because it is light enough to be shot farther but it also has enough weight so the wind wont affect its accuracy as much Lead is used only in cheap bullets. Better bullets are an alloy of lead and antimony. Many common lead bullets have a copper or steel 'jacket' -Most accurate rifle bullets are a bronze-nickel steel mix, or a copper alloy.

A better question would be which do NOT have lead. A small percentage of rifle and handgun bullets are solid copper, bismuth, or some non-lead metal. Shotshells used for waterfowl are loaded with non-lead shot- steel, bismuth, or iron/tungsten alloys. But MOST bullets are still lead. It may be covered by a gilding metal jacket, but it is there.
