Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada Campro Bullets

I provided some inaccurate information in the above post.

The handgun bullets are electroplated. The FMJ bullets - 223 and 308 diameters - are made like conventional FMJ military contract bullets. That is,

In FMJ projectiles, the coating is made from a copper strip by a punching and drawing process. The base of the projectile is not covered with copper: the lead is visible to the naked eye.

This explains why they can be loaded using the jacketed bullet data, unlike other companies, like Berrys, that electroplate their lead.

What is the difference between FCP (full copper plated) projectiles and FMJ (full metal jacket) projectiles?
