I know this has been discussed many times. I am looking for a few real world scenarios. I picked up a Baby Eagle in .40 S&W the other day and it has a polygonal barrel. I test fired a few Missouri Bullet 18 BHN rounds through it to see how the barrel's bore would do. To my surprise, there was quite a bit of lead that peeled off the bullets and left long slender "shards" in the barrel.
I found these deposits cleaned out easily. I made a few passes with a brass brush followed by a patched jag. I don't want to try and make a square peg fit a round hole, and if I need to to, I'll break down and buy some jacketed bullets.
But I want to know how well your poly bore gun has done with hard cast ammo, i.e. is it accurate, reliable, difficult to clean after -X- number rounds . . . . .
