Nitrofish1 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I just bought a new Gen 4 . Can I use lead bullets in this barrel? Before I start shooting I was not sure if I can . Any help is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atbarr Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 You need to keep it really clean. You should think about a Lone Wolf barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy Soto Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Yes you can but, just like atbarr said, you should be diligent about cleaning it. BTW, don't waste your time using copper solvents; they do nothing to remove lead. Use a lead remover like the one made by Shooters Choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RePete Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Or, you could do what a lot of people do, and that's to buy a Lonewolf/KKM etc barrel strictly for lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rback Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I shoot plenty of lead through a factory G17 barrel, but my OCD forces me to clean the barrel after each range trip (250-300 rounds). I could probly go quite a bit more - there isn't much leading except just ahead of the throat. A 15-20 strokes with a brass brush and 2/3 pulls of a boresnake and its good as new.
