H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted February 8 Posted February 8 I think it is, but I want to be sure. To quote the Handbook... REVOLVER AND RIFLE AMMUNITION May not be jacketed, semi-jacketed, hollow point, plated, or gas checked. It must be all lead. Moly-Disulfide, polymer coated bullets, or equivalents are acceptable. (Emphasis added.) Okay, that lays the groundwork for why I think my ammo MIGHT be legal. But now, here is the ammo I am wondering about. Okay, the box clearly indicates that the bullets are coated, not jacketed. But here's what the bullets look like... Okay, the top 2 are some Remington ammo with regular lead bullets, and the lower two are the "coated" ammo. You can see that some of it is rubbing off, and it is clearly not jacketed, as far as I can tell. But, it is coppery colored, so it gave me pause. I have no idea what "Lubaloy" coating is, so I figured I would post this information as ask for a ruling from someone more in the know than I.
Rip Snorter Posted February 8 Posted February 8 If these are original and not reloads, you might want to look up collector prices & interest.

They are original. I found them at a gunshow for $55 a box. Got two boxes of this, and the box of Remingtons. Given how hard it is to find this ammo, and how harder it is to find brass, I figured it was a good price.
