Most pistol bullets are made of a lead-antimony alloy encased in a soft brass or copper-plated soft steel jacket. In rifle and machine-gun bullets, a soft core of lead is encased in a harder jacket of steel or cupronickel. Armour-piercing bullets have a hardened-steel inner core.

A single piece of ammunition for a rifle or handgun is called a cartridge. It has a single projectile called a bullet. The word cartridge also applies to a single piece of ammunition for a shotgun, but a more specific term is shotshell. A shotshell has either one projectile called a slug or many small pellets or shot.

Lead (Pb) has traditionally been used for projectiles fired from shotguns (shot) and rifles (bullets). Its popularity is due to three main reasons: it's a dense, soft and cheap metal. These features mean it can be used to kill animals quickly and inexpensively, including for aerial shooting.

Steel is less dense than lead. The pellets weigh one-third less than lead pellets of the same size. Steel retains less energy and may not kill birds cleanly at the same ranges. Steel with the same weight and shot size contains more pellets than lead, making loads that contain more shot than necessary.

Lead Bullet Fragmentation Lead bullets are so dangerous for anything that ingests them because they fragment into hundreds of tiny pieces when they strike an animal that was shot. The fragments can spread beyond the wound channel, the main path of the bullet through the animal.

Fittingly, over the past few decades, the United States has removed this toxic heavy metal from gasoline, paint, toys, and pencils. But there is one industry that continues to embrace lead: hunting and fishing. I've been using lead bullets for most of my life.

Wrap in soft tissue paper and seal in a labeled paper envelope or box. Package each bullet separately. DO NOT MARK the bullet or allow it to be marked. Mark the sealed container with a description of the bullet and all other pertinent data.
