Let’s get one thing straight right off the bat: this round’s 230 grain projectile does contain lead. But as a total metal jacket, its lead core is entirely sealed away by its copper-alloy jacket. Unlike an FMJ, which has a cup-shaped jacket that exposes its lead core to hot igniting propellant, the TMJ’s jacket protects its lead core by fully encapsulating it. That will keep your barrel cleaner. It will also keep your suppressor cleaner, if you have one. But most importantly, the TMJ will not produce a puff of toxic lead gas while it’s cruising down the barrel.
Want even further protection against lead inhalation? Then you’ll love this ammo’s primers, which do not contain lead or any other toxic metals to speak of. You can truly breathe easier while you’re shooting targets with Federal’s American Eagle IRT ammo! And although this ammo’s primers are special, they’re still traditional Boxers. Alongside its new brass cases, that makes this ammo reloadable!
