A modern solution is to powder coat the lead projectile, encasing it in a protective skin, allowing higher velocities to be achieved without lead deposits. Jacketed lead: bullets intended for even higher-velocity applications generally have a lead core that is jacketed or plated with gilding metal, cupronickel, copper alloys, or steel; a thin ...
A full metal jacket (FMJ) bullet is a small-arms projectile consisting of a soft core (often lead) encased in an outer shell ("jacket") of harder metal, such as gilding metal, cupronickel, or, less commonly, a steel alloy. A bullet jacket usually allows higher muzzle velocities than bare lead without depositing significant amounts of metal in ...
Most cast bullets are made of lead alloyed with tin and antimony; but zinc alloys have been used when lead is scarce, and may be used again in response to concerns about lead toxicity. Most commercial bullet manufacturers use swaging in preference to casting, but bullet casting remains popular with handloaders. [1]
The BEAR series is a line of hunting ammunition. The cartridges use lead-cored Full Metal Jacketed, Soft-Point (Semi-Jacketed), or Hollow Point bullets, have steel cases with Berdan primers, and use a non-corrosive propellant and primers. The sub-brands differ only in the protective coating used on the cartridge case.
7.62×39mm lead core, bi-metal copper-steel full metal jacket bullet, polymer coated steel case, non-corrosive, berdan primed; 7.62×39mm HP lead core, bi-metal copper-steel hollow point bullet, polymer coated steel case, non-corrosive, berdan primed [9] 7.62×39mm ELITE lead core, copper full metal jacket bullet, brass case, non-corrosive ...
Viet Cong soldier with a Type 2 AK-47 rifle. Only one sabotaged cartridge would be placed in a magazine or case of good ammunition. Project Eldest Son (also known as “Italian Green” or “Pole Bean”) was a program of covert operations conducted by the United States' Studies and Observation Group (SOG) during the Vietnam War.

It was a standard .303 British cartridge loaded with a 155-grain (10.0 g) cupronickel-jacketed lead bullet including a hollow copper tube filled with 15 grains (0.97 g) of 73% dynamite. Pomeroy's wife reportedly filled the first five thousand bullets with dynamite by hand.
