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.

I've used jacketed bullets in my rifles when I'm just messing around, not competing. They were fine for just shooting for fun. I wouldn't load them super hot, but for casual shooting they worked okay.
