Hello,
I posted a question recently about Thunderbolt and bulk Winchester leading .22 barrels. I asked that question because these two ammunitions are not coated.
The answer was that they are waxed coated and a .22 doesn't have enough velocity for the rifling to strip any lead off of the bullet. The poster said I was 100 years behind. Yet, a couple of posters in another thread, mentioned that leading was a problem with the Thunderbolts.
I asked the following question in a thread concerning Remington Golden Bullets and I have realized that I was hijacking the thread. So here is my question in a new thread. Would anyone else care to expound on leading in .22 rifles?
