Reeder Custom Guns - Anyone ever use that "Tin" or "Copper" lead free .22?

Puffy sent me a box of Winchester "Tin" bulleted .22 LR that had a 26-27 gr. bullet that was the same size as the 40 gr. RN. It was rated at a much higher velocity as you'd expect. I figured it was specifically for Condors, or Spotted Owl seasons out West.

I remember it goo'd my barrel up some. I wanted to try the Tylor trick of liquid Alox on them. Do they still make that sort of stuff? The "Lead-free" .22 LR?

To keep the lead out of the air. Like the diesel fuel burning and Carnies were alright for your safety.

conflicting info, some say they are interchangeable, some say, splatter is if a liquid is involved, and then splash+spatter=splatter.

technically lead is a liquid right? so splatter works.

sort of a plastic or something like it holding little flakes of metal. You could cut them with a pocket knife. Bullet would not ricochet no matter what. It hit anything it disintegrated. Used to be able to buy them pretty cheaply .. many moons ago.

My only experience is with the Gallery Shorts ...

They did used to make something for Fairs and such!

Splatterless Gallery .22 Shorts

I understand Splattering, but what is spattering?

apparently we are not using the correct word

we know what you mean!LOL!

The Gallery .22 Shorts were a composite bullet..

Not sure the last time they released a new gallery 22

They do. If we want to hunt here it has to be lead free.

The CCI copper type are the only consistently accurate ones

we don't do any of that silly crap in Arizona

Don't let anyone know or you'll have even more

as long as they are conservatives and leave the
