    Red face Copper Coated Pellets

    I perused the bay looking for couple tins of Bisley Super fields for my BSA Spitfire .22, the only pellet it shoots straight Whilst there I noticed there are a lot of copper coated pellets of various brands,designs for various purposes. Does anyone use them and what apart from being cleaner for pinkies is the advantages out of interest?

    I've tried them a couple of times, the second time because I couldn't quite believe how badly they grouped (patterned?) the first time.

    For hand wringers so worried about lead poisoning they can shoot stuff & the lead doesn't touch the meat.

    I have tried them as part of a selection pack in both .177 & .22, they were equally crap as are the copper coated .22lr bullets (in my rifle)
