My local Bass Pro has this stuff. I would like to shoot some but am concerned about tin fouling. I can't find anyone who has experience with it. Seems like if tin melts 100 degrees cooler than lead, and it has no copper plating, that tin fouling could be a problem. I can't tell if it is a lubricated bullet or not, though they feel kind of smooth and slippery.

They are lubed, according to the Win site.

I expect the bullets to be harder than typical lead 22 bullets. That is consistent with the deeper that usual HP cavity. Pure tin is harder than pure lead. Who know what the alloy is?

If the bullets fit the bore well, I'd expect little fouling. A dash of antimony will also harden things up pretty good. My cleaned-up pewter ingots are plenty hard.

I read a gun mag report on it a few months back the consensus was that it is really innaccurate. Apparently the only use for it is in lead free areas of California.
