Scooter Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Do you enjoy chiseling the lead out of your muzzle brake? Link to comment

PractricalUse Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I have been using blue bullets for a couple of years. I have never had a problem with lead. Link to comment
Sinister4 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 agree ive had zero lead issues using blues, quite clean really Link to comment
rishii Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I’ve used blues in pcc and open, no problem with leading in the barrel or comps Link to comment
chase214 Posted June 6, 2022 Author Share Posted June 6, 2022 Wasn't sure if the coating caused any problems just looking for a cheaper bullet Link to comment
bigdawgbeav Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I've only done some testing with Blues, but have run 1000's of other coated rounds and have had no issues in my PCCs. But, yes, coated can foul a comp. Link to comment
fastlane604 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) I don't know if there is a difference in the coating between Acme and Bayou and Blue. But Acme and Bayou leaded my PCC comp so badly that I swore off them for PCC. The barrel was fine. The comp had lead welded to it. Edited June 6, 2022 by fastlane604 Link to comment

Blue, PC, Precision and a couple others are using a different polymer-type coating. I've mostly used PC Bullets over the years, but recently switched to Everglades plated rounds as they were close in price plus usually have some decent sales throughout the year. Now I just need to shoot all the stuff I already made... Edited June 7, 2022 by bigdawgbeav Link to comment
Nathanb Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Not only have I shot them from a pcc but also a suppressor with no issues. Subsonic 147s for reference Link to comment
chase214 Posted June 7, 2022 Author Share Posted June 7, 2022 That was gonna be my nest question running them with a suppressor Link to comment
JohnnyD Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Running them in a Taccom 13/16 and ULW barrel and no real issues. Some build up in comp but not bad. In the 13/16 barrel I'm running 115's at around 1200fps. Link to comment
rpm8300 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 In my experience, Blues are some of the best as far as running similar to plated or FMJs. In my MBX PCC, they don't gunk anything different than plated or FMJs. If I had to list a 2nd option, I would go with Brass Monkey Bullets. They are very quick to ship, consistent, and accurate.

Bdh821 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) I do NOT recommend painted bullets thru a PCC. Especially a MPX Everglades heavy plated 115s are $302/4000 shipped is a great price! You won’t have to chip crap out of your noise deflector, smokey ammo, or an extra dirty gun to deal with. Edited June 10, 2022 by Bdh821 Link to comment
hiker88 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I’ve used Blue Bullets in my pcc’s without any issues before but I’m currently using SNS 125 gr RN’s for a couple of years now. No problem using coated bullets at all. Link to comment
TheGoatMumbler Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 2000+ rounds through my Aero Precision PCC build using 147g RN Blue Bullets and my Taccom 10/16 barrel & comp are fine. Link to comment
mpmo Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Just got my JP5 this past week. Using my Blue bullet 147gn FP, N320, bullet loaded for my shadow 2. After 500 rounds here is what the comp looks like. Not great... Link to comment

Scrounger Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I’ve used the blues as well without problems, but now mostly just use them for 100PF strep challenge loads. Link to comment

I’ve been using the version 1 or version 2 plated. since I use titegroup there is still buildup on the comp after a bunch of matches but I get through way more rounds before cleaning than I did with blues Link to comment

I am using Sport Pistol though, if more than marginally better Ill continue to use them, otherwise Ill go to Everglades JHPs. Link to comment
