This guide provides essential steps for firearm users to prevent and limit lead exposure, drawing on the expertise of a competitive shooter and reloader. Key recommendations include improving range ventilation, using appropriate ammunition and respiratory protection, employing specialized de-leading cleaning products, and maintaining strict hygiene practices on and off the range. The speaker, Michael Scott Earle, shares personal health data and frustrations with medical professionals to emphasize the importance of these preventative measures.

This video from Tactical Fellowship explains how to damage a firearm compensator by shooting high-velocity, unjacketed, or poly-coated ammunition through it. The instructor, Benoit, details his experience of wrecking a new compensator by loading blue bullets too hot (1330 fps), causing the bullet to break apart and damage the comp. He emphasizes using jacketed bullets for high velocities to avoid similar issues.

This 'Smith Busters' episode debunks the myth that shooting jacketed bullets can effectively clean lead fouling from a firearm barrel. While jacketed bullets may remove some powder residue and lubricant, they primarily iron lead into the barrel's grooves rather than removing it. For proper lead removal, using a dedicated lead solvent and brushing is recommended. This is particularly important for .22 rimfire conversions in AR-15s, where wax and lubricants can build up, impacting accuracy when switching back to centerfire ammunition.

This video details a firearms instructor's testing of various 10mm loads in a Glock 29, specifically focusing on bullet stabilization issues with plated projectiles in its polygonal rifling. The instructor compares results with a conventionally rifled XDM and identifies specific bullet types and velocities that perform poorly, leading to keyholing and poor accuracy. The conclusion is that a barrel swap to conventional rifling is necessary for optimal performance with desired carry ammunition.

This video offers expert-level instruction on bullet casting and selection from Jerry Miculek, a professional shooter with extensive experience. It details the evolution of cast bullets, compares jacketed versus cast options, and demonstrates modern coating techniques like Hi-Tek and powder coating. The guide covers the casting process, safety precautions, and a live-fire comparison of different bullet types.

This guide, presented by firearms expert Hickok45, details methods for preventing and removing lead fouling in firearm barrels. It covers the differences between cast and jacketed bullets, traditional cleaning techniques, and a preventative method using jacketed rounds. A critical safety warning is included regarding pressure spikes when cleaning heavily fouled barrels.

This episode of Guns & Gear Season 10 focuses on Barnes Bullets' Match Burner lead core jacketed bullets, highlighting their accuracy, competitive pricing, and suitability for both hunting and competition shooting. The video provides an overview of these target-ready bullets and directs viewers to a purchasing link. It also mentions that Guns & Gear airs on the Sportsman Channel and WildTV, and that more content is available on various digital platforms and the Guntalk website, showcasing new firearms products through interviews, demonstrations, tips, and training.

This video details the manufacturing process and benefits of Nowlin 1911 barrels, emphasizing their Electro Chemical Machining (ECM) technique for superior accuracy, smooth finish, and stress-free rifling. It covers the advantages of tight tolerances and tighter-than-normal rifling for better bullet seal, leading to higher velocity and less fouling, making them ideal for high-volume shooting. The guide also explains the differences between drop-in and gunsmith-fit barrels, including fitting procedures for optimal lock-up, and highlights the availability of various calibers, lengths, and the Nowlin ramp feature for enhanced case support.
