I seem to have a habit of derailing people's threads so I figured I would start my own. Since I believe this forum is the best place to obtain knowledge from more experienced shooters, I pose this question, at what point does bi metal jacketed bullets start to degrade accuracy to the point of where you are simply throwing lead down range if it wears barrels more at all? Or by what percentage does shooting this type of ammo increase the wear and tear on your barrel, if at all? I am completely inexperienced in metallurgy or shooting this type of ammo whatsoever. It doesn't matter what type of barrel, whether it be cold hammer forged, chrome lined, stainless, nitrided, or melonited.
Some limited examples show it increases wear.

So, do bi metal jacketed bullets make a difference, in rapid fire or slow fire and by how much? Please educate me.
