As you push the bulklet down the barrel faster you get maore friction/heat and more leading. The copper wash does help to reduce that. Subsonic and Match don't often have this since the velocities are lower and don't lead to as much leading. The reason for not copper washing standard and subsonic rounds is simple economics. The cost of mass producing copper washed bullets even at fractions of a cent per round get big when you are making billions of rounds. Actually it is because of leading.

So why not plate standard? That’s what I heard GeorgeH, but that seems to imply it’s still a problem with standard velocity. So why not plate standard?

The copper wash may help control it. The higher the velocity, the more leading becomes a problem. The copper wash may help control it.

Never had that problem with jacketed. I’ve found that some autoloaders don’t do well with lead ammo, since it is soft and can sometimes snag when feeding. Never had that problem with jacketed.

Very few jams and feeds very well. On my no-name rifle, it works fairly well. In both, the ammo is accurate for what I use it for. At 100 yards on the rifle, open sites, I can hit the target. I'm sure if I used bags or a Lead Sled I could have decent groupings, but I prefer to hand hold because in a SHTF moment, I doubt I'm going to be in a prone position. CCI high velocity suck the life out of my pistol. I've not shot them in the rifle. I’ve had fantastic luck with the Remington “Golden Bullet” in my Ruger Mark III 22.45.

It does nothing for ballistics or accuracy. If you've tricked out your 10-22, then I suggest picking up various "target" grade ammo for practice, but using something like Eley 10X for competition.

I always thought it was because of the copper plated bullet....mabey it just likes high velocity ammo?
