LeadSafe TM bullets have no exposed lead surfaces to come in contact with hot propellant gases. This is because each bullet is electroplated with a pure copper jacket that covers the entire surface of the bullet. The electroplating process used by Rainier Ballistics produces a molecular bond between the jacket and the lead core - a bond so strong, that the plated jacket will not separate from the bullet core when fired. Every bullet goes through our signature "restrike" phase to ensure the most consistent and accurate projectile. Rainier Ballistics-100% made in the USA. (less)
