Win M-22 question

[harrym]

What is the reason for the black copper on the Winchester M-22 cartridges? Is it just cosmetic, or is there some actual advantage to the black copper plating?

Its probably a lubricant of some type, It will rub off with steel wool, exposing normal copper underneath.

It's harder for bad guys to see at night.

It's Black because it's for a Black Gun.

Then is it available with camo or pink bullets, too? Pink might be a real niche market.

Hornady Has already thought of that, the bullets aren't pink, but the Packaging is!

The rubber tip is pink also.

I've seen postings in our local Gun Shops that the Winchester M-22 ammo has been recalled!

Might want to look into that!

Two lot No.'s out of...thousands, probably. All you need to know is right here on the forum, actually.
