Curious about the 22 50 grain bullets Jim. I purchased a 223AI from a friend and the loaded ammo was blue coated hp 50 grain Barnes according to the reloaded ammo box label. I never got a box of bullets with the package, but I scoured the net and found a mess of loosely packed bullets but haven't needed to reload any yet. I took one of the recently purchased bullets and my recollection is they were jacketed lead bullets, nit lead free.

Anyone else find blue coated Barnes 22-50grn that are lead? Curious if Barnes made lead pills, or if I need to section another bullet to verify what I believe I found.

Thanks

Allen

If I recall correctly Barnes coated some of the "Barnes Originals" as well, the same basic bullets that Fred Barnes made with pure lead cores and copper jackets. They still offer some Originals, but not with the blue coating.

Thanks John

That must be what I have. Heading out when the snow up north of me gives me a decent travel day, hoping to help another gun writer teach Flight school in the land I can empty lead ammo , lol. 2016 was the last year we headed north this early and had sun!
