Anybody Shoot BPCR Rifles With Jacket Bullets.....

I'm still waiting for my 38-55 rifle but I'm wondering if anybody has used jacket bullets in BPCR rifles? I don't compete so I don't have to worry about that.

I haven’t personally but most BPCR folks stick with cast bullets. Jacketed can work, just watch pressures, fouling and barrel wear closely.

From all my research that seems to be the case jacket bullets with smokeless and some type of lead (cast or swaged) for black powder.
