My first handgun manual, Beretta, stated that one should never fire a copper jacketed bullet out of a barrel that lead bullets have been fired without cleaning it first.
This is because the lead could foul the barrel causing an obstruction for the harder jacketed bullet that may cause a catastrophic failure.
I have always followed this "rule" with all of my handguns just to be safe.
Do you agree with this?
If you do agree, is the same true for SJHP's where in my opinion the lead tip of the bullet does not contact the barrel?
