Hey Guys...
This past Friday I could not pass up a deal for some .224 "copperhead" bullets from the American Marksman..Picked up a 1000 for 45.00 bucks or so shipped..The are blem's but the bullets look great. They have no driving bands like some other solid copper bullets.
So, I have been researching solid copper bullets and some say they wear out your barrel(Daniel Defense DDMV5 Crome lined) and need to be loaded differently so I wanted to see what you think. So my questions are:
1. Will these ware out my barrel?
2. Would I load to the same OAL even though these will seat deeper?
3. Anyone use these 55gr bullets before? Advice?
Thanks!!
