I recall just after the end of the Cold War getting a case (or maybe it was two cases) of Russian .22 cal ammunition. It was cheap so it sounded like a deal.
Those rounds were mostly lead with no coating aside from some gummy sealer that we assume was made for Siberian climates. Nice hot California weather? Things gummed up about every gun we used them in. They also were very dirty even handling. The only gun that could use them without too much trouble was an old Remington Nylon 66 which as a 14 bullet tube type magazine in the stock. I run through those thing as fast as possible....just to get rid of them.
