Lead Free .22lr

[TXplt]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....All I see on their website is "copper plated" -- do you have a supplier or link ?

Just curious..... TX folks are a little more sane about this stuff.....


Maybe copper plated is good enough to fool the nuts in cali doing this ?

.22Magnum is different, using the same bullet design as centerfire.
Lead bullet bans are simply a way to ban our ammo, resulting in a back-door method of gun-control.
1) No ammo, can't shoot those evil guns!
2) Can't shoot it, might as well turn it in!
3) The world is now a safer place (cue the feel-good muzak...)

Or all that "disposed of" lead ammo will find its way onto the streets of LA ?

i only want bullets that are safe for condors to suck on like cough drops.

All I find on Federals website is copper plated. If you really want to know take a round and be really careful. Take the round and with a knife cut a shaving off or cut the top off. If it cuts and you see silver you know it's lead if it is hard then I guess they started making copper bullets.
