RE: 22LR Ammo & WAX
i actually just noticed that 22 bullets are coated by what i thought was wax the other day...just got bored and scratched one with my finger nail....
i cant see how wax would ruin a barrel....ive got atleast 5000 rounds through my buckmark and it still shoots great...most have been CCI mini-mags, which are coated because that is what i felt the coating on the other day.....most guys dont even clean their 22 bores...
anyone know what the wax if for?? my guess is to seal the bullet onto the case?? i dont know..i know the cheaper bullets you can spin in the case by hand....
heck, thinking about it, my round ball patches for the flintlock are pretty much wax....i actually coat the bore in it after cleaning to protect it and help keep the fouling soft and loading easier...
