I honestly do not think it would be a wise idea to shoot corroded bullets despite the fact you cleaned them. Gun safety is always a must, so you must treat every scenario you are shooting the gun in, and guess the worst that could possibly happen.
Now, by taking that approach, you'll realize any type of bullet that is corroded will NOT and I repeat NOT be safe to fire. So your best bet would be to discard to bullets at a shooting range, or check what you do with the bullets according to your state laws.
I tried a 5% solution of household vinegar and although there was some chemical reation and a slight reduction in the white chalky covering of the metal, it did not do the whole job to my satisfaction. Try a stronger solution of 40% vinegar which you can find at Amazon or at any organic gardening supply outlet. It works great as an organic fertilizer and a bug killer as well.
Sure...Use printers lead..its harder than wheelweights. Clean your barrell well after each shoot...
Gold resists corrosion better than lead. Gold is a noble metal and does not react with oxygen or water, making it highly resistant to corrosion. In contrast, lead is more prone to oxidation and can develop a layer of corrosion when exposed to air and moisture.
Blue bullets are bullets are high quality Polymer Coated Lead Bullets.
Yes, may people use lead bullets for a variety of purposes.
Yes. Lead bullets do not wear out the rifling inside the barrel as fast as steel bullets. Still, many people use steel-jacketed bullets . . .
yes, it can not only lead to corrosion but a faster corrosion.
Bullets can be made from many materials including wood, steel brass, copper, lead, tungsten, bronze, plastic, etc.
Usually they aren't. Lead, or lead in a copper shell (a "jacket") is the most common choice for bullets. Bullets CAN be made of mild steel, usually also copper jacketed, and it's usually done because of concerns about the lead from the bullets causing pollution. Mild steel is one of the less expensive replacement options for lead in bullets.
About 99%. Lead is an inexpensive metal that is soft and dense- 3 criteria for bullets. Most will be made of lead- if not entirely, they will have a lead core covered by another metal, such as copper.
Barnes Bullets is a company that makes bullets. Their bullets are lead-free. Barnes Bullets supplies bullets to the military as well as to the hunting community and to law enforcement agencies.
Most bullets are made from lead. Some will have copper jackets around them, but the bullet itself will be lead.
