If you notice the bases of fmj bullets, they are exposed lead. At least they are in the .224 fmj bullets I have been loading. Push them close to 3000fps with no leading.

On sub-sonic pistol loads, there is no worry about that either. If I get nervous about it, with the wide meplat of this bullet, I could stand them on the nose and the bases would be coated.

I like the benefits of not getting sticky fingers while handling them for loading and my bullet seating die stays clean.
