.22 copper bullet

Post by steelbuttplate »

I bought a box of this crap because it sizzles at 1800 fps. The bullet is just 21 grains though and my trial with it in my Romy trainer threw bullets all over the target. They must be too light ? Anybody else tried these ?

My experience with solid copper bullets has been that accuracy isn't their strong point.

The weight of the bullet mebe makes the spinning bullet more stable , gives it torque ? like a flywheel or harmonic balancer ?

A copper bullet has the same wind resistance as a lead bullet only the copper bullet has lower mass so it is less effective at maintaining speed and trajectory.
