dalbert Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 The bullets have a cupro-nickel outer composition, thus their "lead" appearance. David Albertdalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com/ You're right, cupronickel is silver colored. I had some 45acp FA18 cartridges that had the usual copper gilding metal jackets Edited August 17, 2014 by buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
