.223 in 55 grain CMJ

Does the CMJ stand for Copper with metal jacket?

I assume that is a plinking round, not a hunting one?

Just curious.
 
Complete Metal Jacket from what I can find. It's a casted lead bullet electroplated with copper. No hunting with it in TN.

"Full Metal Jacketed bullets are manufactured by means of pressing ("swaging") a lead core into a copper jacket while the jacket of a CMJ is electroplated onto the lead core, covering the core completely. Through the years this process has been refined continuously to improve core-bonding, smooth plating and other factors, resulting in a premier product. Among the many advantages of CMJ bullets is the fact that the lead core is completely covered with copper, eliminating the dangers of lead poisoning. The manufacturing process s more flexible, resulting in a product that is easier to customize for specialised use. "

From another forum.
 
Very interesting.
Thanks. I wondered what the difference in that and a FMJ was.

I was gonna order some for playing but shipping made them not so good of a deal. :(
 
Any time. I usually wait for a free shipping coupon before ordering ammo off the net, or order several boxes to spread the shipping cost when it's flat rate.
