What happens when no lead????
Lead is getting harder to find here these days.
Wheel weights no longer lead.
Dentist do use xray anymore.
Plumbers don't use lead anymore.
Roofers don't use lead anymore.
When you buy a battery, you have to turn in a battery.
State says lead is a hazardous material, so have to have a record of disposal.
People hording lead to make fishing weights.
We can still sell lead, don't know why, but the lead I've seen is all contaminated.
Purple, silver, yellow.
So what do we do when we cannot find lead??????
What happens when no lead????
As I understand it, the main reason why lead is used, relates to its ability to conform with barrel rifling without damaging the rifling ( malleability). Other dense metals are either too expensive or not sufficiently malleable.
Maybe one option Is the development of sabot-like designs where an outer casing is made from plastic -type material but which separates from a inner dense metal bullet (such as steel) upon being ejected from the barrel.
The rifling would induce spin to the sabot and it’s enclosed steel bulett without damaging the barrel rifling!
