I believe they are. They appear to be when in the hand, and you can't scrape the coating off with a nail like with minimags, although I haven't dissected one. They also list it and sell it as such.Blackstuff wrote:Are they definitely jacketed? Most .22RF is just copper washed and is basically a lubricant rather than anything that adds to ballistics/penetration
Winchester also do a FMJ .22WMR solid round that is definitely jacketed. I don't think anyone bothers for .22LR as you say.

Yeah they definitely look jacketed. I suppose they've got to justify the cost of it somehow!Re: Definitive Answer Please: .22RF / .22WMR

On my FAC: .22RF
Apparently if your cert states .22LR then your pretty much stuck with that but if it states .22RF then that opens up the WMR too
I thought this may have got changed to .22LR on issue of the cert but it arrived .22RF
Try and buy a WMR and see if the RFD lets you have it.

Not sure that an RFD would see it that way....Gazza wrote: Apparently if your cert states .22LR then your pretty much stuck with that but if it states .22RF then that opens up the WMR too
But then again I don't really need a WMR rifle.
Who knows..? aaarggh

A .22WMR is a .22 rimfire cartridge though???
Next time I'm in the shop I'll ask if he'll sell me a WMR on the strength of it
