To the best of my knowledge SGA only sells plated .22 LR for use in their range. I make a point of taking plated ones to shoot there, even though the plating is so thin it doesn't really matter that it is there. I don't know if they make a big deal about plated .22s or not, but I try to err on the side of caution, particularly since most of my guns run well with the Federal bulk pack that is plated anyway.

I don't know why anyone would care about plated vs. non-plated .22 LR. Maybe the plated .22 LR produces less airborne lead do to "side blast".
The link of the CDC report that I posted talks about "side blast" but that applies to revolvers. I don't know if semiautomatics suffer from this issue.
