Ed Robinson Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Was wondering if Anybody has tried any coated bullets for accuracy? I just got a sample of 125gn LRN BBI's from Chandler. No grease groove and coated with the hytek coating. Cast has always been accurate for me but don't want the fouling in my alum comp. some of the uspsa guys shooting these things in 9maj w no comp fouling.

DougCarden Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Ed, load away. spray some lanolin based fluid, like dillon case lube, in the comp before you shoot and enjoy. I am doing the same. I have some loads to work up but they shoot better than most fmj, and are a helluva lot cheaper.... DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Robinson Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Doug that was my thinking exactly. Ive been using zero jhp's for a little over a year. Even use Dillon lube in my comp with them just to make cleaning easier. Thought if the BBI's were at least as accurate they'd be a much cheaper practice round, maybe even match round, and a lot easier to get than zeros. I see my supply of zeros dwindling down while I've got these black bullets that I could be burning up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Service Desk Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Most of the Australians use coated lead boolits .... With great results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I run a coated 122 lfp sized .357 in my metallic gun for practice. I use zero 115 jhp for matches. I don't even change my sight adjustments. I am working up a coated bullet load in my open revo as well. DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimmbeckwith Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Sorry about the availability, but the Bosses don't want to get any bigger with restrictions on Healthcare, EPA Etc. Plus Fred has said numerous times the he doesn't want to sacrifice quantity for quality. A factor the both Kevin and I both agree on. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
