I recently had a bad ezperience with UMC 230gr ball ammo. I was curious if there are any other cartridges I should avoid when using a suppressor. I am including bullets in this. How are the copper plated bullets? That's kind of a broad question, but in order of importance: 1. Stability (does the bullet stabilize in your gun) to avoid baffle strikes 2. Feed/Function reliability 3. Subsonic (if applicable) 4. Cleanliness - both the powder, and bullet type to reduce lead buildup What issues did you have with the UMC? |

Copper electroplated bullets include:
- Speer Gold Dot bullets/ammo -Federal Fusion rifle ammo including loadings is several rifle calibers over 3,000 FPS -Speer lawman and blazer ammunition There is nothing inherently wrong with electroplated bullet technology. However, some bullet makers use much thinner plating than Federal or the plating on the excellent Gold Dot. And too many reloaders over-crimp plated bullets, leading to bad accuracy and plating damage. As far as ammo to avoid, any ammo with an exposed lead base will leave some lead in the can. JHPs and plated bullets do not have lead exposed on the base. |

Unless you have a 1/9 twist barrel (reg 22LR is 1/12 or maybe 1/14) I would not shoot these with ANY suppressor. Quoted:

I know I the Spectre II you can't use the Aguila SSS 60gn ammo...says it in the included manual... Unless you have a 1/9 twist barrel (reg 22LR is 1/12 or maybe 1/14) I would not shoot these with ANY suppressor. 1:16 twist on most all .22LR barrels, with very few exceptions. |
