Here are some frequently asked questions.

1 - Does CamPro sell directly to individuals?

Our distributors will be happy to serve you. However, if your area is not covered by one of our distributors, we can help you obtain CamPro products.

2 - What is the difference between FCP (full copper plated) projectiles and FMJ (full metal jacket) projectiles?

With FCP projectiles, the copper coating is deposited by an electrochemical process leading to a totally covered projectile.

In FMJ projectiles, the coating is made from a copper strip by a punching and drawing process. The base of the projectile is not covered with copper: the lead is visible to the naked eye.

CamPro sells FCP projectiles and some calibers of FMJ projectiles.

3 - What is the thickness of the copper coating of CamPro projectiles?

CamPro projectiles have an 8 mils (0.008 inch) copper-plated coating.

CamPro’s small caliber projectiles (short barrel) have a 6 mils copper-plated coating.

The usual industrial standard is only a 3 mils copper plated coating.

4 - Are the standard FMJ loads appropriate for CamPro projectiles?

Yes. Standard FMJ loads are appropriate for CamPro projectiles because the 8 mils copper plated coating behaves like the conventional copper jacket.

5 - Can magnum loads be used with CamPro projectiles?

Yes, magnum loads can be used with CamPro projectiles because of the high thickness of the copper-plated coating (8 mils).

6 - Where can I find reloading data for CamPro Projectiles?

Load data are available in description of each bullet.

If you have additional questions, you can contact us at: info@cam-pro.ca.

For SAFETY reasons, start with low loads and work your way up.

7 - What are the OALs for different CamPro projectiles?

9mm 124 gr RN and 9mm 115 RN and 1.120” OAL general

9mm 124 gr HP

1.090” OAL general

9mm 147 gr RNFP

1.090" OAL and crimp at 0.376. With this OAL, you can also feed a competition gun with tight barrel.

40 - 180 gr
1.130 and taper crimp from 0.415 to 0.420

0.40 S&W 180 gr FCP RN
1.130 to 1.135 max.

8 - What are the dimension ranges of CamPro projectiles?

Example: 0.40-180 gr TC
Target ranges are:
Diameter: 0.4000 - 0.4006 inch
Length: 0.585 - 0.595 inch
Weight: 179.5 - 180.5 gr

9 - Can you comment on the weight uniformity of CamPro projectiles?

All CamPro projectiles are swaged using carbide dies. This leads to greater weight uniformity by avoiding the entrapped gas bubbles observed in casted projectiles.

10 - Can you comment on the dimensional stability of CamPro projectiles?

CamPro projectiles are reformed by pressing using carbide dies to maintain shape and dimensional stability.

11 - What is the diameter of a CamPro 223 55 gr FMJ?

The diameter of a CamPro 223 FMJ – 55 gr is 0.224 inch.

12 - What is the diameter of a CamPro 9mm 147 gr projectile? Can it be used in a 38 super gun?

The range is 0.3545 min. - 0.3555 max., depending on die wear. Note that in each box, the projectiles have the same diameter because they are part of the same production lot.

The SAAMI gives 0.3525 min. - .3555 max. We do not go to a minimum that low and when the die reaches 0.3555 (due to die wear), we stop producing with it.

Because we produce projectiles for different clients that use different firearms, we stay within the range to accommodate all needs without hindering the production process.

13 - What is the diameter of a CamPro 45 caliber projectile?

45 ACP (200 gr, 230 gr and 230 gr HP)
Diameter = 0.451
Range = 0.4510-0.4516

45 Colt 250 gr
Diameter = 0.4520
Range = 0.4520-0.4525
