Does anyone have a definitive answer on whether repeated/continued use of bullets like Federal Trophy Bonded Tip or the new Trophy Ascent will in any way harm my rifle barrels? My 300Win loves them, prints tiny groups, and from all reports they are devastating on game. Was also thinking about trying them in my 6.5CM and 6.5PRC but don’t want to risk subjecting 3x rifles to nickel coated bullets without knowing the long term risks.

the bullet is actually nickel plated, or the brass? It is my understanding that Nickel is pretty hard. I have never seen or heard of a bullet that was nickel plated, guess I learn something new every day.
