COLLINSMITH89 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I've had very good results so far using a BBI 125 grain bullet in my 38 super comp open gun. A little led build up in the comp after 500 rounds but nothing too bad. Shoots flat and just as accurate as my normal Montana gold 124 grain load. Just wanted to share my results in case some of you guys are on the fence about using coated bullets in an open gun.i haven't had a chance to chrono yet but here are the stats, Load- 125 grain bbi 9.7 grains 3n38 1.240 oal armscor brass Gun- Freedom Gunworks full size 38 supercomp open gun Schueman ultimatch barrel 2 popple holes and a cheely comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodownzero Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I have been selling and using coated bullets for so long that this comes as no surprise at all to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supermoto Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I use ibejihead coated bullets in my open gun. They have been working great. Little bit of leading in the comp, but nothing bad. They run very fast. . 7.9 HS6 with a 124 Ibejihead Is getting me 169pf, 8.3HS6 is 179pf with a MG 121, 8.6 HS6 is at 169pf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLLINSMITH89 Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Do you only use the coated bullets or do you switch between jacketed? So far I've just been using them for practice and shooting the Montana golds at matches but that might change since Montana gold has a 1000 round limit per order now.

Supermoto Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I used coated for a while, then switched to MG when my wife was shooting 9 minor. That way it was easier to tell the loads apart. Now I pretty much just use coated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
