So if we shoot jacketed bullets with black powder we won’t get the thick smoke. Holy crap. I have been doing it wrong all this time.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

The second circle points out that the smoke is because the bare lead is burning when exposed to the flame. Wow, who knew?

After having dealt with gun writers for 30 years, I can tell you that, without exception, they are special people.

Yea hockey helmet special. Since all the old guys passed all thats left are kids with zero experience who write what they are told by the editor and the company of the item that they are to write about. They all think that they are like Keith, O'Connor,Skelton, Venturino and the like but none have any field experience. You should see some of these wannabes on YouTube at the shot show doing interviews. The camera is only on them not the product or company rep tell you about the product. The old cast you could learn alot from this new breed you just sit back and scratch your head wondering wht. Am I  right guys?

Glad I could help educate you boys. You've been laboring under false ideas for years.

It would appear that Frank has been licking his lead pencil too much when he writes. Lips Sealed

It’s amazing that the fur trappers and buffalo hunters ever survived with such inferior bullets Grin
