This is probably the dumbest question ever, but can a home bullet-caster jacket the lead with copper? Or would he even want to? Here's my line of thought...I know - through this BBS - that Higgins is fussy about the loading process, and I'm thinking that if that discarded lead has any impurities, then bubbles or occlusions might cause the trajectories and velocities to differ from cartridge to cartridge, and perhaps a jacket would smooth the airflow thus making results more consistent....
(Full disclosure - I'm not a gun guy..)
(All of you gun guys probably just figured that out.)
