LoneRider Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I know that original 45acp ammo was lead but is there any drawbacks to using Moly Coated lead bullets in a Rock Island 1911 for IDPA ?? Commercial ammo is just too expensive and I load for Cowboy shooting and don't see any reason not to reload for IDPA also. OPINIONS???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMBOpen Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I've use Precision Bullets baked on moly coated 200 and 230's in my Colt 1991A1 with no issues. Several other local shooters swear by them in their favorite caliber/weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catfish Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Nope. Shoot 'em up. Load them at similar levels of powder as you would a lead bullet and you should be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 You can't go wrong with moly. All of us poor boys use em.... Precision Black bullets are my fave but there are several good manufactures.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03k64 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I've been using Masterblasters and now Precisions in all my 1911s and haven't had any problems. I'd shoot jacketed but I'm poor like Merlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Wood Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) You can't go wrong with moly. All of us poor boys use em.... Precision Black bullets are my fave but there are several good manufactures.... I used the Precisions for over a year in my 1911 (CDP gun) with Nowlin match barrel. Had to give them up because the buildup (which is very hard to see at first) was so hard to remove. I have a friend that is using them now and he is getting the buildup- which is common by the way. He tells me that putting the barrel in a 50/50 mix of peroxide & vinegar for 10 minutes? makes it come out with one swipe of a patch. If this is so I may try them again. They are the fastest bullets I've used yet and I had no problem making PF with them. They were accurate as anything else.

bulm540 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I 've use it in .40 and .45. Best bang for the buck IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
