Copper Plated Bullets in Stock Glock Barrels.

[RoosterShooter]

Are there any known issues with Copper Plated Bullets (Rainier, Berry's, etc ...) out of a stock Glock Barrel?

I've invested in large lots of .355 dia, .400 dia., and .451 dia. bullets for reloading, and want to make sure there aren't any issues before firing them from my Glocks.

Thanks

You should be fine. You just can't shoot straight lead cast bullets because of the build up it can cause in the barrel which could lead to an over pressure.

Several thousand round of 9mm Berry's in a Glock, and no problems at all.

Same here. Well, almost. I was shooting Rainier bullets instead of Berry's.

Several thousand Xtreme's through a G17 with no issues.

I have shot a bunch of Berry's 180s thru my G35, they shoot good, but plated bullets cost way too much for what they are, cheap ass lead with a super thin layer of copper shouldn't cost the same price as Precision Delta's, which are much more uniform in size and shoot better.

i'll have to look into Precision Delta. I've been shooting Berry's and Rainiers for years cause i thought they were the cheapest
