I overheard at the range the other day that it's not a good idea to shoot copper jacketed (and coated?) bullets after shooting lead bullets (before a cleaning) because the lead build-up in the barrel (potentially) causes dangerously high pressure levels. This was in the context of pistols.
Is there any validity in this? Or is it urban legend? Would it apply to rifles?
