copper and stainless steel

[red-demon652]

OK I think I've come across a thought or two, I want your opinion.
First of all the question of weather stainless steel barrels or more accurate than blued barrels has been beat to death in this forum. That is not what my intentions are.

Now as most of us know, a lot of precision type shooter use custom made rifles and barrels.
Most I've seen are not always but usually stainless steel barreled. To which makes us ask is the stainless barrel more acurate , some say yes some say no, the world may never know.

OK now to get to my point I have a ruger 77-22lr in stainless. It shoots the CCI at tactical bullets copper coated 1200 fps more precisionly than the CCI select ammo, same bullet style only not copper coated and still at 1200fps.

Which makes me wonder, hmmmm does the mixture of the copper on the bullet and stainless barrel make for a better combination in the dynamics Of bullet traveling thrue the barrel. Vs. Copper and crome molly, or other constructed barrels.

Food for thought , we almost need a lab and scientist for this one.

rimfires are finicky animals. It would be an interesting study, but there are lots of variables to test.

I am guessing the copper coating is mostly superficial and your gun likes that load for other reasons.

Well now see that's just the thing here the cci ar tactical shells have the same bullet on them as so do the green tag, standard velocity, and the CCI select ammo. Only the ar tactical has copper coating, and is more precise in my stainless rifle. The ar tac. And CCI select are both running at 1200 fps.
