DenverDave Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) I have heard a lot of good things about Bayou bullets (plus there is a coated bullet company that recently started up in our state). I was wondering what other Tanfoglio owners have experienced with them, and are coated bullets problematic with the polygonal rifling?How about accuracy? Fowling barrels?

waktasz Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I shot about 20,000 rounds of Black Bullet International and Roger's PC bullets this year through my Tanfo. I haven't cleaned the barrel yet. No need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eern Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) I use them in all my guns (Tanfo, Glock, Springfield, STI...etc) and really like them. They run good though my gun and my press. Cheap as well. I have never had the coating come off either. Even when I have my tip a little and then I run it into my seat die. It cuts through the coating, but will stay attached and runs though the gun fine. Getting close to 30,000 of them.

aceinyerface Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 They work great. No difference switching from plated to coated, except more money in my pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaep1911 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) No problem here either. I have been told to be careful with crimp. Just remove the flare from the case mouth and avoid a cut on the coating. Edited November 4, 2015 by jaep1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZinSC Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Been using Black Bullets in my Tanfo Limited. Love them. No issues whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertLx Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I love my ibejihead coated lead bullets in everything I shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selecw Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Bayou are great. I use them exclusively in my Limited gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenverDave Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Has anyone tried Eggleston Bullets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srrch Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 The Bayou bullets are great. I just started shooting a Stock 2 this year. I love the platform. The 147 gr Bayou bullets with n310 or n320 are really nice. N310 is a tad bit softer. Extremely accurate. Quarter sized 10 round group at 15 yards benched is doable. I had an older M&P pro and I wasn't able to come close to that with the black coated bullets I was using. Buy the Bayous with confidence. Fwiw. I got similar accuracy with a plated berry 147 round nose and n310. I like those because I can load the longer at 1.160 (ikr). No feeding issues. No visable signs of over pressure. I'm still testing this load though. I've only got about 100 rounds down range with this load and I need to chrono. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatriotDefense Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Running the 135's from Bayou in Stock II and Stock III guns for about a year now with no issues. Accuracy is awesome out of each platform and the guns perform way better than what i can shoot free handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selecw Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 And they don't make your hands dirty while reloading. That is HIUGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastly Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Probably 20-30K Bayous in Tanfo Stock 2, Lim Pro and previously Glock. 135's now, previously 147's. I love them. Never tried any others, never saw a compelling reason to change. Donnie took good care of me when we hit a shipping issue (not his fault, shipper screwed it up).
