sharp-shooter 0 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I've seen some copper pellets on the web and wondered if anyone as used them and if they are any good? Quote Link to post
SEAN3513 7 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 never seen them before........they may be quite hard, barrel damage or wear would be my concern. if you get some have your gun chronographed with them..........results may be interesting ?? all the best sean Quote Link to post

John-B 4 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I used these in my BSA supersport ss carbine years ago, they were total rubbish, didn't even try them in my mk1 rapid 7 as i heard stories of barrel damage with them being so hard. Quote Link to post
ulverston moocher 60 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I would put bulldogs on a par with them there shit mate stay clear of them Quote Link to post
hughesey1552 0 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 to be fair though copper is alot softer and more ductile than steel. so i dont understand why it would damge the barrel??? Quote Link to post

clubshot 22 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Check out USA Boards Was brought out in States as they are looking @ other materials than Lead Copper is used to coat some Full Bore rounds Remember reading it will effect Air Gun rifling - if used over a period Pax brought out Dynamics in Tin , which is softer than Lead Also lighter - Reason I brought out the Exterminator Range in Lead Which was also sold by Logun's as Penetrators BOB/R Quote Link to post
