True jacketed bullets typically have a copper cup that is filled with molten lead. These bullets are able to withstand very high speeds and have a fairly thick jacket. These are usually the most expensive.
Rarely is molten lead used, and when it is it is prominently advertised.

Most jacketed bullets are pure lead cores swagged into the jacket.
