Guy Neill Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Bullets designated as "FMJ" generally do not have enclosed bases. If the base is enclosed, it usually has some different terminology. Usually, but maybe not always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Montana Gold CMJ’s are FMJ’s with a copper looking cap on the bottom to enclose the lead. Almost looks like a gas check. But as noted FMJ’s are typically exposed base bullets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Most don't, and they require a lot of cleaning to keep your comp clean and lead free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about getting some but I don't think I want the exposed because it probably smells like lead when you shoot and I don't want to breathe it.
