I think there would be a problem with silver fouling, but not too bad.
I'm willing to risk that to take out a werewolf.

it burnishes it..
and after a small # of rounds will eat the barrel
hell you can shoot steel bullets if you like but you will have a very short barrel life.

That 5% Zn in gilding metal jackets keeps copper fouling to a minimum. Zinc vaporizes in the heat of firing, "fluffing off" copper fouling.

A local gunsmith had a priest come in and order some silver .357 Magnum bullets; he said he'd be back in 3 days for them... but he never returned... Ya wonder what?

Couldn't you use a semi-jacketed silver bullet for werewolves? That should resolve the werewolf problem and the silver fouling problem.

Uncle Red: What the heck you gonna shoot a silver .44 bullet at anyway?
Mac: How 'bout a werewolf?

Been there, done that. Much quicker to go down with a 44mag over a 9mm. I'll never use a 9mm silver bullet on a werewolf again.
