Ductile Iron Bullets why not?
Something I have long wondered is why are soft iron/steel bullets illegal?
It’s not like everything has to be armor piercing and the soft iron is cheaper than lead or copper
The “mass” argument doesn’t hold water for me as a bullets range is determined by the amount of powder, the barrel and the frontal area of the bullet, if mass is an issue make the bullet longer and it should still fly straight and hit with the same force.
Soft iron and even steel can easily be made to smoosh up on contact similar to lead.
And if we really want it to smoosh out an aluminum or hollow :0 tip would do that also
If we are stuck with the cost/utility problem forever why don’t we just solve it?
