AverageJoeShooting Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 ive been running blues for the past year no issues and for some reason i dont get a ton of lead fowling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kujo929 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Most coated bullet companies seem to run the same type of coating. Hi-tek blue Bullets use a different coating and is the best I have used for open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 In four open guns the Hi-Tek coated bullets leave lead accumulation in the comp and smoke. The Blue bullets smoke less and leave the comp much cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdh821 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 JHPs are pretty easily obtainable. RMR... New England reloading... Everglades..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36873687 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Blue Bullet for 3 years in open guns work great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rishii Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Blue bullets, my old supercomp load pushed 115 to almost 1500 FPS with no leading i also swabbed my comp with kroil at the end of the day and let it sit until the next time I shot it. The kroil is a penetrating oil that would loosen the crud and blow it out the next time I shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I ordered 1000 RMR 124 JHP about two months ago, just to have them. They shipped in less than one week. I've never used New England, but I have used Everglades. I prefer the RMR JHPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpYoursPal Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 For those that normally shoot JHPs: do you go for truncated cone in your coated bullets, or round nose? How is feeding and accuracy compared to normal JHPs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I use truncated cone and they are very accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamese35 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I'm running DG bullets loaded with Mighty Armory dies and shooters world major pistol powder and I'm getting great results and no leading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PewPewJohnson87 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I've been able to order Precision Delta 124 JHP's almost on a weekly basis for a few months now, the only down side is sometimes they wont offer them in 2k lots, only 1k. I was able to order 2-2,000 count (4k total) cases last week Friday, I ordered another 4k yesterday. Also I check Montana Gold everyday and I can usually get 2 cases (3.750) a month. JHP's are out there you just gotta consistently check the sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) I just got 40 lbs of 1945 era military surplus pistol powder so I can run 125gr J-Ames bullets. Best weight for accuracy from what I can afford and super clean in my PCC. One hole drillers in my Glocks and Leadstar PCC's. I would buy their 147 rnfp ones that are even more accurate but I can't afford the higher priced ones. I got lucky and bought two months ago when they had more for everyone. It appears they cranked up mass production lately but mostly only to law enforcement agency contracts and most of their bullets go there, and less go to civilians is what I'm hearing at the range.

Bakerjd Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 From what I've seen Blue Bullets and BBI bullets works very well. I have couple friends who shoot them and have had no more leading then with JHP. I talked with Chandler (owner of BBI) and Brennan (BBI open shooter) recently about using them for 9 major and both said to use a powder closer to silhouette as ones like AA7 burn hotter and can burn the coating off though. I dont have any personal experience with it yet as I have a pile of 9 major loaded with everglades 124JHP I bought off a friend who switched to 38SC and some of the everglades 9 major ammo I had bought before I started reloading myself. And I haven't yet committed to shooting open so I just use that ammo when I do take it to a local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
