Sub Nova Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 They will be lead, as far as I'm aware RC do not do steel loads. As for shooting RC40's through your gun I use them through all my guns and I mostly shoot x-full with no problems, and as soon as I pick up my HPX they'll be getting chucked through that also, if it's proofed it's good.
