I'm guessing nickel coating. One thing to keep in mind when purchasing XR's is the shot in them is European shot size. This means 5's are what we usually call 6's etc...shot size is one size smaller than our standard. I read this and measured for myself. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThis is not completely true. I have sampled the shot size in a #5 LB. I checked about 30 pellets. Of those this is what I found. I had 1 being just oversized at .121 and 5 at exactly .120. I had 2 at .112 and 1 at .113. The largest majority of the pellets were in the .115 to .118 range with 8 of them being .117. I had no exact #6 pellets out of the ones I checked. Most measured what I would call a 6 5/8 to 6 3/4, lol. I will say that all the pellets were very round. I have also shot the #5 at 50 yds. thru a heavy tin soup can, every pellet that hit the can past completely threw both sides. Tried the same test with a #6 LB's twice. One time all the pellets past threw the front side and dented the back side with 4 passing completely thru. The other one all but 2 past thru the front side and dented the back side with no pass thrus. I've shot 3 turkeys with the #5 LB's this year and seen 2 others killed with them, they flat get the job done and after all my testing I have complete confidence in them.
