copecowboy22 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I tried searching and didn't come up with anything. I've been shooting a 45 in single stack and just recently picked up an STI Apeiro in 40 with an AET barrel. I've used thousands of cast bullets in my springfield 1911 but wanted to make sure there was nothing wrong with using them in this barrel. These would be regular home cast bullets from wheel weights. Thanks in advance for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I shoot coated lead and lead lfp in my schuemann 1x24 AET barrel and in my open gun as well. They will be more accurate if they are a well made lead bullet hard enough and using the correct burn rate powder. I am running Tightgroup with these at minor power factor. The 122 LFP load shoots 3in at 50 yds.....so yes, go for it. Every barrel is different....see what works in your barrel best. DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joedirt Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I use titegroup behind 200 gr blue bullets, down a infinity ultimatch barrel. bare lead is a little puffy for me but blues are nearly the same price and the coating is really durable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I have a 38 super AET barrel which drives tacks with MG, but opens up with Xtremes past ten yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
