So...
For the most part, I have been an ammo snob and have always used copper washed CCI in my 10/22 and 22 pistols. Obviously, those days are over and I have to lower my standards. I am starting to finally find some 22LR but it's all lead. From a cleaning and maintenance point of view, what will I need to do differently? I have an AAC Element2 that has stayed reasonably clean with copper washed, will lead be different? Thanks for any help. |
| There shouldn't be any difference in cleaning between copper washed or lead as long as both are properly lubed from the factory. Either one missing the wax/oily lube on the bullet itself will foul up a barrel or suppressor fast. I rarely use copper washed ammo since the vast majority or what I shoot is the higher end stuff from SK, Eley, Lapua, Wokf etc. None of the expensive brands use copper washed bullets. |
