We are currently shooting SK 40gn standard velocity but it is coated and tends to gum up Ruger BX10 mags fairly quickly. Does this ammo have any coating on it?

I am assuming that the difference between pistol match and rifle match is in the speed of the powder. Has anyone tried both?

Curtis, this Aguila 22 LR Match Standard Velocity Lead Solid Point Rimfire Ammo is not coated so no worries Sir.

Michael W. · Answer

Curtis, This round does have some factory type lube on it. You can feel it on your fingers when you handle it. Not going to get away from that with rim fire ammo. Clean your magazines with a denatured alcohol to keep them cycling smoothly. And you are correct about faster burning powder in pistol match and slower powder in rifle match. Good catch.

I have not tried both,  but from range tests I've seen,  the groups on the SK are far tighter
