jrbet83 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Just curious what type of accuracy your seeing with Bayou Bullets compared to other bullets (jacket or lead)? Better, Same, Worst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oak hill Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I have only used them in .45 so far, but both 200 gr SWC and 230 gr RN have been as accurate as any other bullet I have tried in the past, and more accurate than many. Sorry, I don't have scientific data, but I don't shoot Bullseye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH45 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I tried their 140 grain bullet for a minor load, for 3-gun/IDPA, and couldn't get them to shoot accurate enough for ME. If I remember correctly, I only tried them in 4 of my STIs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic_jon Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) I shoot them in both 180gr .40 and 147gr 9mm and they are about the same for me accuracy wise as BBI's were. Edit for spelling. Edited August 4, 2011 by Classic_jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterj Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 The 140gr TC will hold less than 2" at 50 yards in my 610. I am pushing them to 1100 fps though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, I only tried them in 4 of my STIs. I tried the 140's also. I wanted to have a minor load that only required switching bullets. What I found was that with longer OAL length for 180's, I just did not have enough bullet in the case. Seated deeper for somewhat better accuracy, but still prefer 180 gr bullets for the best accuracy. So I ended up using the same bullet, and lowering the powder charge. I was just trying to be cheap and save a couple bucks with the lighter bullets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just trying to be cheap and save a couple bucks with the lighter bullets All I did to get a shorter OAL was flip the seater plug. Was using the round nose seater for Montana gold 180gr jhp, flipped to flat point. No adjustment on powder. Gives me a 161 power factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowenbuilt Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I've shot a dump truck load of Bayou and Blue bullets, accuracy has never been an issue with the heavier bullets with plenty of bearing surface to engage the rifling. Using the ultra light bullets in any caliber can cause accuracy problems no matter who makes them in lead or coated lead. If you are careful in how you treat them Bayou's give match accuracy in all my Glocks and sometimes out shoot the jacketed bullets depending on the gun. Give them a try and don't over crimp them and you will be hooked I am sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash74 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The coated bullets have been more accurate for me versus plated bullets. It doesn't matter which manufacturer (Bayou, Blue, BBI). The only bullet more accurate than coated lead is a match grade jacketed bullet, but were not shooting bullseye here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackfatbob Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Best bet, put the load over a chrono and see what your ES and SD are doing. Epoxy coated bullets may be a little slicker than naked lead and you might want to jigger with your crimp, oal, or powder charge to settle it down. I have 100 of Donnie's 175 grain on my bench for testing right now. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
