I know most modern center-fire ammo uses lead with Antimony added to harden it. Is this the case with .22 rimfire ammo as well? Reason I'm asking is I've actually recovered some non copper coated .22 LR projectiles from targets and carcasses and I was interested in melting them down and casting them into bullets. Been collecting everything I can find that is lead and making two piles, pure lead, and impure lead. Need to save the pure stuff for my BP guns.
