I just talked to a major bullet manufactor tech line
I have some new and old sniper rifles
I saw a lot of loads in the Cast Bullets Handbook for 700x
You would need to be careful not to double charge.
The gentleman told me I will permantely destory the accuracy. of my fine Sniper rifles
if I shoot lead.

I think that Harry Pope and a few hundred current CB Benchrest shooters might not think he knows what he is talking about.

Yup, he's an idiot.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

And this from a major bullet manufactor tech line?
Goddlemity - I might expect this kind of claptrap from some bozo in a Podunk sporting goods store but I'm stunned that any of the bullet manufacturers would settle for technical representatives who were that ignorant.

what Hornet said! x2
Aw come on, you can tell us who!!
If it doesn't shoot an ounce of lead, its a wimp load.
Shooting lead in my rifles runined me from j-bullets. If its not one of my long range target rifles or one of my AR15's I shoot lead in them.
I have shot lead in my 223 and 6.8 SPC AR-15's though and than went back to J-bullets with out a problem.

Uninformed for sure. The first thing he is though, is a tech for a major bullet manufacturer. He sells a pricey product. Bullet manufacturers hate those who cast accurate, cheap cast boolits.

A guy that I worked with asked me if I had ever fired a sniper rifle. I wasn't sure how to answer so I said that the 30-06 used to be a snipe rifle and I did snipe deer with one so I guess I qualified.

what felix said.
only accurate rifles are interesting
They're just trying to sell those new gween bullets.
That is the strongest words I have ever read by Felix on any of this boards incantations. I willingly second them.

Gee Whiz Batman I cast 200 .358 lymans today. Next week they'll get lubed and gas checked and will weigh in at around 205 gr. The local guns are us store had one box of name brand jwords for over fifty bucks for a hundred and those were not premium bullets by any stretch of the imagination. Now why on earth would a jword manufacturer try to spread the idea that lead was harder and more abrasive than copper or gilding metal?
Anybody here think that the firearms of a hundred and fifty years ago had better steel in their barrels to resist the damaging effects of lead boolits?
Marty-hiding out in the hills.
as others have said-i bet he then tried to sell you some j-words.
