I have a new .308 rifle I will be using to hunt this year. I was looking into ammo and the Federal Premium Trophy Tip looks like it has decent performance.
My concern though is it's nickel plating of the bullet. Does this have any adverse affects on the barrel? Will this ruin the rifling any more than shooting copper coated bullets? How about compared to winchester ballistic silvertips with it's moly coating (I think thats what it is)?
I'm really curious because I would like to extend the life of my rifle if I could by preserving the barrel/ accuracy.
Plus they look really cool, lol.
Thanks,
