This may not be what you're referring to, but steel roller bearings
used in gas turbines often are silver-plated. The purpose it twofold:
it makes a superior bearing surface in normal operation (why, I don't
know), and it offers some protection in case the oil supply is
temporarily blocked. Like cast iron or babbitt, it provides some
lubrication even when run dry.


I think Silver makes a GREAT material for bullets, I've made some for
people but never got any feedback on performance or what they did to the
barrel.

Think "silver solder" fouling.

And what cleans the bore of this? There is Hoppes Elite for carbon
fouling, ammonia (or ammonia-free KG12) for copper, but what's used
for silver? When I use silver cleaner on silverplate, I smell
something like ammonia.

steel wool removes silver fouling. Along with the rifleing and bore
metal.

I suppose the obvious answer is "Don't shoot Werewolves.", eh?

Ive given some folks Sabots with silver cores. Much..much safer and
cleaner to shoot.

etc etc.

They are easy to find on the net and quite inexpensive, and a
homeshop machinist can make his own quite easily from common
materials.

So yeah..you can kill werewolves with saboted silver bullets and not
have to use a chisel to clean out your bore afterwards
