rem708 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 I think your club member needs to think again. CCI and all rim fire bullets are lead. The fact they look like copper is wrong - they are copper washed. Just use your fingernail to dig into the bullet and you will see. The copper wash acts as a lubricant. The only reason for not using them is lead recovery for personal remelting and bullet manufacture as this may effect the hardness (I have no idea how though as this is the first time I've even thought about it) The bullets cannot be considered jacketed!

Vince Green Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 That's true the copper plating is only about a thousandth of an inch thick. My objection is that I don't think its the best form of lubrication. Blazers are generally quite cheap but not always the most accurate.

Dekers Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 yes i no subs are better suited for the perpose of target shooting but i need to use a round that will cyle a 10/22 i hear that semi autos can have issuse with subs Regardless of any copper coating on any .22lr there are plenty of lead only cartridges, some of these are only marginally HV whilst others creep over a fair bit, many are also designed for target work. A 10/22 is not most people first choice of a target .22, but there are plenty of subs that cycle a 10/22 well. This works well in my semi and BA and gives decent results on target work, but it is HV, but not very HV. http://www.federalpremium.com/products/details/Rimfire.aspx?id=92&utm_campaign=bazaarvoice&utm_medium=SearchVoice&utm_source=RatingsAndReviews&utm_content=Default Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livefast123 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Can't see where you are as I'm on my phone but if you are near North Somerset I have 1000's of Blazer. You can have a box to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyflier Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 I wondered that as I posted the comment, I would think that something like "RWS .22lr Club" would do the job for you, they are just below supersonic and quite accurate.
