The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

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 ?

I'm guessing you forgot to post a picture and possibly a product name.

Sorry, been running up and down the Highway again. This stuff is CCI copper 22, 1850 fps, 21 gr.

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.
