Glocks and the new coated bullets

[HighExpert]

Has anyone tried the new coated bullets in the Glock instead of Raniei's or Berry's? I was looking at the offerings from Falcon.

Do you mean Hi-Tek or powder coated bullets?

I have been using MBC Hi-Tek coated bullets in my Glocks with good results.

Thanks. I wondered if it was worth pursuing. I guess I will give it a go. I was sorry to see Rainier go under and Berry's, although very good, are a little pricey.

I shot a lot of Berry's and Rainier plated bullets when they were cheaper but when plated bullets increased in price in recent years, switched over to RMR jacketed bullets for comparable price or lower on one of their good sales.

BTW, if you are looking for cheap plinkers, RMR has pulled plated bullets for less than/comparable to lead/coated lead bullet prices - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...ponents-on-sale.707473/page-176#post-11134941

I got a sample pack (250) of The Blue Bullets about a year ago. Worked well in my Glock 17 and 19. No issues loading but I didn't like the chemical smell, and this is shooting outdoors. Other than that I was happy with the product and the company. I think if was able to contact them and get a discount, but that may have changed.

I've been shooting the Blue Bullets (125) through all of my 9's including Glocks for years now without a problem. Go through 2 cases (7,200) rounds of 9 per year.

I went back to The Blue Bullet site and found the discount section.

I sent them an email like they say and got a discount. Doesn't look like they added The HighRoad though.

I use MBC coated lead in my Glock with no leading issue whatsoever. If anything it's even easier than copper because there isn't any copper residue. That polymer coating doesn't stand up to hoppes and a brush nearly as well as lead, or the dreaded copper.
