VU2AKILL Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I am going to start loading some 180 grain Blue Bullets to shoot out of my STI DVC Limited 40. I shoot a bunch of USPSA and 3-gun. I am curious as to how these bullets work on knock down steel targets or spinners that we often find in 3-gun. Will they perform just like a plated bullet?? I don't see why there would be much difference but did not want to find out the hard way so thought I would see if anyone has any experience smashing steel with these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD40 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 They hammer steel. 9mm,40, 45 all work when the sights are lined up! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VU2AKILL Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thanks for the replies. I figured this would be the case. They tend to throw a lot of spinners and such at us around here so just wanted to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racinready300ex Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 They work great. And you can use the code Ennis to save 5% when you order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furrly Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I believe it is BENOS, unless ENNIS is a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertTortoise Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 It has worked great for me, especially on spinners (shooting major) Most of the 3 gun steel I've seen is calibrated to fall over for minor or subminor 9mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VU2AKILL Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 I ordered some up yesterday and used the BENOS code. Thanks guys for the replies!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys for the replies!! You can only use those codes once, so you can always use Ennis on your next order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mont1120 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I have used BENOS several times, never had an issue with the discount on any order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VU2AKILL Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Follow up on this. I got some 180 grain Blues in and loaded them up over 4.5gr. of WST at 1.18 for the STI to eat. Too snowy to try the poppers or spinner still but they crush the knock down plates!! Thanks again to all who commented on this. Much appreciated. I think these are going to work very well.

Ha ha. figured that out on the first reloading session. At least it washed off easily though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
