[BIGGUNGOBOOM]

So tell me again why I cant run lead bullets threw a G19, is there any reason that I should worry about it. do I really need a lonewolf Barrel?

No, have you checked out the cast bullets in Glocks thread yet?

[JLarsson]

First thing that happens is your truck breaks down. Then your girlfriend leaves (if you don't want her to - stays if you do). Your dog runs away, you lose your job, and you get banned from GP. :skep:





Oh - well, I don't do it, but lots of people do. Supposedly, the polygonal rifling causes lead build-up which leads to high pressures, which leads to............

:88:

Or not. Keep your barrel clean and your eyes open and you should be fine.

I ran a lot of lead through a Glock 17 years ago. Use hard cast bullets below 1000fps and you will be fine. If you need a serious social load, you need jacketed hollow points.
I shot lead because I was a CRB. Lead was cheap and less powder was needed for paper punching loads.

i fired tons of lead bullets in glocks with no problems back before the internet was invented and i didn't know better. i still shoot moly coated lead in my g30 and have fired my 3 best scores (all 60.xx) this year with it in GSSF Sub Compact class.

Hardcast and moly are good to go from what I've seen.

i tried moly in 9mm and .40 and they crapped up the barrel really bad after only a mag or two. from what i few have told me that's common of the moly bullets but it doesn't get any worse.

I hear that. I shoot the Precision Bullets through my G19/34 and it gets a little gunky, but it has never caused me any problems. I do clean my barrel after every session/match, which I think is a good idea when shooting any lead in a Glock barrel.

G'day All.

Here in OZ, we mainly shoot coated lead bullets.
I have been shooting lead thru Glocks for over 10 years.

I have a G17, G34 and G35/357Sig

They all run Lead bullets.

The G17 is factory barrel.
The G34 and G35 have Storm Lake Barrels.

My bullet is the Lee 120gr FP. I size them to .356 in the Lee sizer and then tumble lube them.
I them roll them in Talcum powder.

They shoot great out of the G17 and the G34.
9mm Load is 4.5gr W231.

In the G35/357Sig they also shoot great. But travelling at 1475FPS for Major power Factor, does leave a bit of lead in the bore. After 200 rounds the barrel needs cleaning.

357Sig load is 9.5gr W540

In the G17 G34, I only clean the barrel every few months or so.

Hooroo.

Yeah, we're a couple wind bags aren't we?

Let us know how they shoot.

[BIGGUNGOBOOM]

The .45GAP is tho thuper!

[BIGGUNGOBOOM]

Monte, up for shooting in the morning?

[BIGGUNGOBOOM]

Speaking of GAP check the For Sale section under components if anyone is intrested.

[MONTEGOD7SS]

Ehhhh, I'm going Christmas tree slaying in the morning, remember? If you are taking your new 9mm make sure you bring some bandaids along in case you shoot yourself.

[BIGGUNGOBOOM]

HAHAHAHAHA oh yea, I will. have fun hunting trees.

[BIGGUNGOBOOM]

Well back from the range. the 4.5 grns of Bullseye was very accurate, very minor "MINOR" leading after 100 rounds. the AA#7 was much dirty er and not quite as accurate. the 4.5 grns of Bullseye was dropping the brass two feet to my right in a nice pile. guess I found a good load.

[MakeMineaP99]

Leading with the AA 7? You need to bump up the charge on the AA 7 and try again. It needs to be hotter if it's burning dirty.

[BIGGUNGOBOOM]

OK. Ill try and bump up the grains a little more.

[MakeMineaP99]

AA 7 will make major, you have plenty of room.
