Will it lead my barrel?

[powwowell]

Will non-coated .22 ammo lead my barrel?

Specifically, Thunderbolts. I have a thousand rounds and I have been hesitant to use it. What is your opinion about barrel leading with this ammo?

It is coated with a Remington proprietary lube, and no it will not lead your barrel in only a thousand rounds, just clean your bore and action as the manufacturer directs. Good shooting!!

No one makes uncoated .22 ammo.

Some has a copper colored wash over the lead, and some, like yours has a clear wax coating.

None of it will cause barrel leading unless you have a pretty crummy barrel.
