I recently got into the pcc game and am having more fun than ever, but along with a new hobby come a million questions.
I have been reading extensively about compensators and the process of cleaning them and keeping them clean. From what I can gather most shooters in pcc and a lot of open shooters suggest shooting JHP bullets so that lead doesn't build up on the compensator.
I currently do not reload and won't be able to for the foreseeable future. So I was looking online and found that most commercial ammo is fmj, which leaves an exposed lead base that will eventually start fouling.
Can anyone point me in the direction of some factory ammo that's jhp that would be good for pcc shooting? I don't have a problem paying more for quality ammo.
So far I have taken the advice I saw in a few threads about spraying dillon case lube on the comp before shooting to provide a barrier and slow fouling, and it has helped a lot. So far I have about 2000 rounds of various ammo, most of it federal syntech pcc and haven't noticed any significant build up. But if I can avoid any headaches by using a different ammo I am game.
I know I am probably over thinking this, but reading all the threads on here of comp woes got me thinking. I would just soak the comp in a cleaner and pick the mess out but all of my barrels are 14.5 pin and welded so soaking would be more of a pain.
So, like I said, any suggestions of good jhp ammo would be greatly appreciated!
