sb3 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Looking for anyone with experience shooting coated lead bullets through a ported barrel. I'm liking the price and want to give coated lead a try. I'm comfortable cleaning the comp but I want to know what if any effect the ports drilled in my schuemann barrel will have on the coating and accuracy? I'm thinking of trying some blue bullets but thought I would ask here first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick88 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Use the BBI black bullet and you wont have any issues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiserb Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 BBIs work great. No issues in my Glock or HKs Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb3 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 So, no trouble with the ports cutting the coating on the way through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick88 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 If your ports are properly drilled you will have no cutting. You asked for experience with coated bullets and ports, I have that and I recommend the BBI black bullets, at this point I consider it to be the best coated bullet out there. Now having said that I'm also testing some of the new SnS bullets they have a different profile and not as a slick coating as the BBI but they shoot very well in my minor guns I have yet to test them at open pf but I think they will be up to the task. I have no experience with the blue bullets they just dont appeal to me at all. In short a full copper jacketed will always be best for open pf but if your looking to save some money and get close to that quality BBi is your best bet.

jcc7x7 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Testing some SnS bullets this week. gonna use the same load that I use for MG. I think I'll be able to lower it as it is still a lead bullet. I've been told by others that hey have used them in Europe for a while now. Let you know what I find out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb3 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 After about 1500 rounds of 124 gr blue bullets I can say definitively that the coating holds up great. No cutting, no leading and stellar accuracy. Great value in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
