barely jacketed SJSP and HP ammo in Desert Eagle

[seed]

I just got some ammo from Reed's (which, in my experience makes good ammo and has good CS) for my Desert Eagle .44 magnum. I ordered SJSP and HP ammo (the latter of which is actually a SJHP). Upon my receipt of the order, I saw that amount of lead exposed on the front of the rounds was more than half of the length of the exposed bullet. This is well beyond the length of exposed lead I have seen on any other factory SJSP or HP for .44 magnum. Even though I know that the concern is with an exposed lead base in such rounds as FMJ's, I am concerned that perhaps the length of lead exposed on the front of the rounds might be excessive, causing problems should I shoot them through my DE. Should I be concerned?

If the lead is still on the curve of the bullet than there should not be any leading problems and if the softness or hardness of the bullet is a concern then contact reeds and see what they say about your ammo and it intended purpose. With out a picture it is guessing and if they are ment for general hunting they may make a very good design. Most common hollow points tend to be a bit soft for hunting anyhow. The DT ammo i have for hunting seems to work very well and also shows way more lead than say a remington sp round.
