'Copper-jacketed lead refers to the bullet component of a round or cartridge used as ammunition in a firearm. More specifically, the copper-jacketed lead refers to a type of a lead alloy bullet (round nose, jacketed hollow point (JHP) or Total metal jacket (TMJ) that has been "jacketed" in copper).
The term Copper-jacketed lead is also a slang term among gun enthusiasts (affectionately called "gun nuts") and prepper-survivalists to refer to "Precious metal" investment in tangibles in the form of ammunition. Among such people, ammunition is considered to be a valuable investment inflation hedge comparable in practical value to silver or gold, except that here the "precious metal" is copper-jacketed lead.
