22 ammo for indoor range Empty 22 ammo for indoor range

Post by Guest Fri Feb 07, 2020 7:51 pm

There is a commercial range which I'd like to use occasionally for practise during colder weather. They do not permit the use of any "exposed lead" projectiles (due to a DEQ ruling on their ventilation system). They sell several brands of plated/coated 22LR ammo - but most of it is High Velocity which I'm not inclined to run in my target guns. The only lower velocity ammo they sell is Gemtech Subsonic (1,020fps - 42gr) which is quite expensive. (The Gemtech website shows it having uncoated lead RN bullets - but maybe there is a special version).

I normally use Aguila Super Extra and Eley Target at my regular venues.

I'd prefer to go buy a few hundred rounds of cheaper coated 22LR standard velocity from nearby Cabela's or BiMart. Any suggestions on a brand/product that would be a good choice?

I have 500 rds of this on the shelve to test fire next week.  No exposed lead.

Excellent. I will go look in local stores this morning.

If no stock locally I'll order some for future.

Thanks guys.

Has anyone tested those poly coated CCI for function and accuracy?

I tried some of the CCI Clean when it first came out a year or so ago, although the bullet was a light pink or yellow I color if I remember.  I only purchased a hundred rounds or so.  

If I recall, it worked ok but reliability was not there, too many alibi's.  Furthermore, it gunked up my gun so that the next hundred rounds of CCI standard velocity were not reliable and I had to clean my gun with all the debris.  

The round pictured does not look like the same round that I tried so I will be watching this thread to see if there is better performance.
