....what's the final word? I was given 500 hard cast 200gr LSWC. I want to use them, but I've heard some horror stories.
eta: I read this thread. It seems like hard cast is ok. The bullets I was given were Silver State. Ever heard of them? |

I shoot lead in my factory glock barrel all the time- simple- start with a clean bore-shoot 200 rounds- clean bore- continue this cycle. Any properly assembled in spec reload lead or otherwise will do just fine in a glock. The key is to keep on top of bore condition- pretty easy to just brush out the bore after each range session with lead- hell most of us do this anyway!
one thing you do NOT want to do is follow the VERY BAD advice seen on some boards to just shoot a jacketed bullet through the leaded bore- to push the fouling out- the increased resistance of the jacketed bullet in the essentially smaller bore is a recipie for disaster. |
