I strolled through the ammo section of a big farm supply chain store today and came across CCI polymer coated .22 in bulk boxes. 40 gr. bullet ; 1235 fps. I am not familiar with polymer coated , so I came here to ask questions.
What is the purpose of the plastic bullet coating?
Are there any drawbacks to this type of .22 bullet?
Does it feed well in semi autos?
Is this a legitimate bullet treatment or gimmick?
I swore off bulk bricks a while back ; I mainly purchase CCI Standard velocity and CCI MiniMags , with a preference for the latter. The MiniMags are nicely packaged and very reliable at about .08 to .09 per round. The polymer CCI is going for around .05 per , and despite being in bulk - and having red/white/blue coatings (silly , I think) , I thought that a CCI .22 product at .05 deserves consideration.
What does the collective think? (see picture above...)
