would copper plated lead bullets leave much/some copper residue in a semi-automatic? how are they compared to lead bullets? thanks
It's a .22 you're talking about...and NO, you don't need to worry about copper plating your bore. The wax lube on all .22's does not need to be cleaned from the bore...ever....I shot .22 small bore in college and we cleaned our rifles by wiping off the bolt face so as not to affect the headspacing. That's it. You'll do more damage by far cleaning a .22 barrel due to cleaning rod abrasion at the muzzle than will ever happen as a result of firing debris/powder fouling. RodI am talking about .22lr rim fire copper plated bullets. So they will leave a copper residue? and I will need copper solvent to clean?
