Winchester 22lr lead free

[sonora]

I was wondering if any of the forum members have had any experience with this ammo? Sonora

I did read a review of it --- can't remember which gun rag. As I remember accuracy was quite poor as compared to lead ammo.

Not really interested in the product, but I am sure regulation of lead ammunition will be coming down he pike if obama gets another term

It shoots the same for me until the barrel loads up, then accuracy goes out the window. But I have to use it to hunt here in the Republic of Kalifornia until we throw the bums out.

But one does not shoot that much when hunting like target shooting, so I clean the gun and use lead for practice.

Very much regret those who live in locals/states where such ammunition is required. I do not therefore I have not tried this type ammunition. When there was concern that sales of ammunition would be restricted, I bought lots of .22 LR to supply my daughters with rounds for their rifles and pistols. We are still shooting that stock of ammunition. I hope and pray that these efforts to destroy affordable shooting will be stopped. Again, I regret that you or anyone else is subjected to such wrongheaded legislation. Sincerely. brucev.

 

[Just another 22 shooter]

I bought a box last summer just to see how it shoots. I have a box stock 10-22 and a Clark custom that both shoots it quite well....quarter size groups at 50 yards..slightly bigger for the stock 10-22 and just under for the Clark. My S&W M&P 1522 shoots it pretty much improve cylinder......4-5 inches at 50 yards. Haven't done any killn' with it, so I can't tell ya how the bullet performs in that situation. Just like all 22 rf ammo, some guns will shoot it and some won't. As expensive as it is, I won't be buying any more.

I tried a box last year. Accuracy was very poor out of my 597. I blasted off the remainder of the box in a 22 pistol and won't be buying more.

Anyone try it in a suppressor? I shoot a Walther P-22 and a Colt M16, Model 901, (with a 22 LR conversion) using a Spectre Suppressor.

Lead is always an issue in the suppressor and I only use coated bullets. Is there a coating on these rounds?
