XtReMe90 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Is it ok to shoot nickel plated lead at spinners? I purchased a boy of Fiocchi Golden Pheasant #6s and want to make sure that I won't damage the target or create a unsafe situation with ricochets. I have read that guys have used Federal Prarrie storm with out any issues and I believe it's a mixture of copper and nickel coated lead. I cut open a shell and tested the shot with a magnet and its not magnetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Bacus Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 It's up to the match directors. There is no written rule against it but many matches limit you to lead shot only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12glocks Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 We shoot copper jacketed rifle and pistol bullets at the spinners. It is just the steel or bimetallic stuff that hurts the targets I thought. I routinely use Prairie Storm on spinners FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
