hunting with canpro plated projectiles??

Why not ? They are LEAD bullet lightly plated. Lead bullets have been used for hunting longer than our copper jacketed bullet.
Thats stupid has stupid go. That also mean all Berger hunting bullet ( and many other brands ) and bullet with plastic tip are fmj.. 99.5 % of hunting bullets have no lead exposed..you hunt with what ? Rocks ?
Bow and arrows..hunting tips of arrows are fmj…

In most cases, the prohibition is actually more of a requirement. Bullets must be "designed to Expand" which may preclude simply shaving the copper covering off an FMJ which Campros certainly are.
Soft lead Cast bullets may be permissable but I woudln't risk it.
Hunting bullets are cheap and effective.
Campro are "bulk" and designed for plinking steel and Zombies.

Campro are soft lead bullet..they expand like lead bullet do..the thin plating job is just there to avoid smearing the rifle bore with lead and allow a bit more velocities. They are soft swaged bullet..not hard cast bullet that can be made easily to not expand at all. They are designed to expand ( soft swaged lead after all) they are used in hundreds of competitions shooting steel targets.
Campro bullets are accurate - as much as lead and can be used for hunting. Bulk ? You do not know what you are talking about…any bullet manufacturer offer - like they do ..box of 100 - 500 and 1000. All bullets are bulk..time for you to go see a youtube video on how bullets are made.
That laws is unenforceable if real. Show the Manitoba hunting laws prohibiting Campro bullet specifically..until then..it’s just bs.

I get what your saying. A hardcast bullet basically doesn't expand at all.
The issue is in the look for a CO checking you. The campro looks like a fmj by not having even a hollow point like a vld.
A hardcast that doesn't expand looks like it does because it's lead.
Stupid... but by exposing the lead tip a bit your not loosing accuracy in a 45/70 in its range anyways and it now no longer looks like a fmj.
99.5%? Lmfao are you drunk?
Also by definition a hollow point is not an FMJ.
I wouldn't hunt with a campro because they're not designed for hunting. Bullets are cheap compared to all the other costs associated with hunting so I have no reason to try and use the cheapest thing I can find.
you are clearly not a smart person.
Who said anything about Manitoba? Certainly not me.
Just offering some advice on how you might want to articulate the legality of your approach to LE. If you flirt with the fringes of a regulation, you may well be required to do so. You come across as someone who is unlikely to get the benefit of the doubt.
Campro bullets are NOT dependably accurate. This is a known thing. I have bought many 500 count bags of Campro in 223 and 308 and if you sort them by overall length or base - ogive or even diameter FFS you will see massive variation compared to Bergers or Sierra's or Honrnady, or Barnes or Nosler, etc.
That is why a bag of 500 pills is 70$ instead of 90$ for 50 like Bergers. You think precision bullets are being offered at less than 10% of the competition?
You do you tho bruh, U Do U!
Does Full Copper Plating meet the bar for Full Metal Jacket (which are generally banned for hunting in Canada)? I do not know, but my pockets aren't nearly deep enough for me to volunteer to be the test case on the matter.
Exposing the lead tip with a file would at least ensure you don't get charged and dragged through the system even if you ultimately are correct. But at the end of the day it's still a campro bullet, so I still don't know why you wouldn't load something better if you're going to point it at game and pull the trigger.
