I know we are 10mm but here is .22

I received a ship date for Monday. Hope you got yours.

Yeah, I got the same. Better late than never.....

They arrived today.  Black Copper plated! Will be interesting to see how they do.

I wonder what the black coating is and why it's there if some reason other than looks.

[EdMc]

Mine arrived today, too. Black copper is probably just some marketing ploy off Black Talon or something.

Could it be a Copper / Molly blend ?

[REDLINE]

Far be it for me to say, but my guess would be their copper plated and then painted with something that either is black or is colored black.

Either way I guess it doesn't matter much.  It's not like it's some magical 22LR round capable of doing something no other 22LR round hasn't accomplished in the past.  For quite a few years already they've been adding a black coating to a bunch of the premium rifle bullets they load from Nosler and whoever else in their ammunition.

For that matter I'm pretty sure Nosler does it on their own for Winchester in their Combined Technology line of bullets.

I would guess some kind of moly coating over the copper.
