Dan Hefta Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 ANY OF YOU GLOCK SHOOTERS EVER TRY BLACK BULLETS FROM PRECISION BULLET? THEY ARE INEXSPENSIVE AND I HAVE HEARD THAT THEY ARE A GOOD PRODUCT, HOWEVER I LOVE MY GUN AND DON'T WANT TO DAMAGE THE BARREL. ANY ADVICE?

glockman30 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 They are a very good product, and safe for a stock GLOCK barrel. However you can shoot regular lead from your stock barrel as long as you clean it very well when you are finished so you don’t get a lead build up in your barrel. I have shot lead in my stock barrels for many years. I used regular lead bullets for practice and playing around and the black bullet from Precision Bullets for matches. I use a 50/50 mix of vinegar and hydro. proxi. in a old Gatorade bottle. When I break down the pistol for cleaning, I just drop the barrel in the bottle and let it sit submerged, while I clean the rest of the parts. After everything has been cleaned, I pull the barrel out and run a snake through it and then a clean wipe and it is clean as a whistle. This even worked on an older barrel that had a small amount of lead built up in it, before I knew about the mixture. This is what has worked for me.

Dan, There is no problem running Precision or Masterblaster bullets thru your glock. I have run...well let's just say a bunch through several glocks and never had a problem. Pull a bore snake through it occasionally just to say you did. and, if you don't mind, unlock your caps button. by the way, welcome to the forums. dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Burtchell Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 (edited) Run them without concern. Great Bullets and a great company to deal with that supports our sport. Edited February 23, 2008 by baerburtchell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeNuc Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I have used them in .45 acp in the past and liked them. I just ordered 2500 in .40. I also have to say that when I have contacted them, they have gotten back to me and answered my questions pretty quickly. Great bullet for the money.

I was curious about this mixture also. Here is a cool page i found with a Google search: http://www.frfrogspad.com/homemade.htm Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscott Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 The white vinegar/hydrogen peroxide mixture seems to work real well. I usually stick an ear plug in the chamber and fill it up. I let it stand for maybe 10 minutes or so then brush out the barrel in a sink with warm water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chp5 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 So what's better in a Glock .40 - Precision or Masterblaster? Who sells them. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
et45 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Since Masterblaster is out of bidness now you will have to go with Precision.And I also echo the sentiments of the above posters,Precisions work great in the Glock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA Friday Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I use a 50/50 mix of vinegar and hydro. proxi. in a old Gatorade bottle. Vinegar and WHAT? Please explain. Interested in this too. never heard of it to clean lead out of a barrel. What % hydro perox are you using in the mixture? BTW, I have shot master blasters out of my STI and Precisions out of my 9mm. I have had some issues with leading with the 9mm in both the glock barrel and a lone wolf barrel. I think you have to push the bullet with enough pressure to stop gasses from escaping around the bullet while it enters the rifling. (read this in another BE thread and it makes sense) My STI is a 40 cal and have had absolutely no leading. I think it stops the smoking more too. So, the 9mm minor rounds can be problematical if you are pushing them through the barrel at very low pressures. Solo 1000 was the best powder I tested with black bullets in the 9mm minor area.

SA Friday Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 50/50 mix. hydrogen peroxide can be bought in different %'s of dilution. I read the mixture ratios, but I wanted to know what dilution percentage individuals were using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el pres Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 +1 on Precision I ordered some last week, they did not have what I ordered and so I called Dave and changed my order to a different weight. I had them in three days with no shipping charge (69lbs of bullets!!) As researched here, I loaded them up with WST for low smoke and shot my forst match with them today (STI40). Also made some for my buddy how shot an XD40 and an MP40, everything ran smooth. Even made some test loads with my beloved Tightgroup, defenitetly smoke more but not that bad. Not what you would expect from TG with lead. Very pleased! Ordering more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Keen Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I think all you're going to find in a drug store variety of peroxide is 3% and possibly 4%. I dont think I'd worry about using either. Luckily the 3% variety is alot more common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glockman30 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Sorry for the delay, I have been working all day. I use half & half(50/50 mix)white vinegar / 3% hydrogen peroxide. Just let the barrel set in it while you clean the pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdstihl Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Does that mix also work for copper buildup (in rifle barrels, for example?) Or if not, does anyone have a favorite that they use for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiChiGunR Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I used them ...I purchased 2000 45acp for my Glocks never had any lead fowling or any firing issues at all with them..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hefta Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Thanks for all the info, I ordered 250 precision bullets to try them out. I was worried about using them in my G34, so I just ordered 4000 Montana Gold bullets. Now that I have some feedback from fellow shooters I will use them in the future. Sorry about the caps lock earlier ( I suck at typing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
