mike's m&p Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I've been shooting rainers for years never had a problem, just the shipping and cost is getting more expensive. Now that my 15 yr old son shoots round count has doubled. going to make the switch to bayou bullets for glock 34 and glock 35 both stock barrells and also for my sw 686 revolver. From what I read there shouldn't be any problems shooting them thru the glock. Has anyone had any problems out of a glock stock barrel with them.

a.roberts Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Nope. Bayous cleaned out the gunk that one of the moly bullets left behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razerok1 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 tried them in my old 34 they shot fine..... have you considered spending i$100 on a lone wolf barrel and shooting plain cast bullets they are a hair cheaper eventually the barrel will pay for itself.

dlouie87 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 what type of powder are you going to use with your bayous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterfowl-widowmaker Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 You will love them. 147gr and 3.4 grains of solo 1k is soft as can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21 shooter Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I have shot them in a 17,34, and a 625 all with good results. The only smoke I got was from the powder itself. Plus the barrel stayed clean for a long time in all three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jacket Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I've only shot a few hundred through my 34. No problems though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msp1jpp Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I switched to Bayou and found that I could reduce the powder as they are much slicker in the bore... pretty amazing coating. Your hands stay clean as well as your barrel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.roberts Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 why are these so much cheaper than MGs? Because they are not jacketed. They are coated lead, and in my opinion are just as good as jacketed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike's m&p Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Just an update. i ordered bayou's last nite. I have 3 emails from Donnie this morning from him answering any questions I had. This is amazing on a SUNDAY. Looking forward to using his bullets I will patiently wait the 8-10 weeks. This is great customer service, just thought I would share this with the members here. Were all in this together and your comments about his bullets pushed me to drink the green koolaid. Very pleased. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyZip Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Mike, I am watching this thread. If you like them in your Glock, I think I will order some even though I just picked some BCs up. I have never heard anything but good things about Donnie's products. Dying to try some, but just keep getting the BCs easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike's m&p Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Our matches are usually about 100-120 rounds, so I think there shouldn't be a problem shooting them. Also I clean my guns after every match, and yes even the glocks I'm just anal about it. Will eventually get lone wolf barrels for my glocks but as of now i need bullets to keep shooting competitions. Getting awful low on supplys, hopefully things will turn around soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc88 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Have shot probably 15,000 rounds of Bayou 9mm 147gr through my G34 in practice, weekend matches and major matches with no issues what so ever. Very accurate and clean shooting. Sometimes a little wait on ordering, but Donnie will always be doing his best to get them to you. Buy with confidence!

mike's m&p Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Good thing to know so no worries then using a stock barrel. thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttownracer Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I have been very impressed with bayou's. Still love MG, but Bayou is a close second. And I hate cleaning guns so I only do it about every 3,000 rounds. Never have a problem with either of these brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildkow Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I get about 100 fps faster with Bayou over MG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayou bullets are great, as you have heard. However, IIRC International Clays is not safe due to pressure spikes in handguns. Clays, and Universal Clays should be ok.
