Hello, all!
Yesterday, I participated in a 4-stage steel plate shootfest, and brought along the usual lead loads, and a box of teflon coated bullets I recently discovered.
The coated bullets were pretty accurate, (as in if I did my part, a 6" plate at 15 mtrs is history ), but what surprised me was that for the first time in three years of shooting, I didn't have to scrub the barrel of those stubborn lead deposits. Even though I've shot a lot of the lead bullets that I brought at the competition, it would seem that the teflon loads scraped off whatever lead strip that adhered in the polygonal grooves. Really a pleasant discovery!
But before I go trading off all my lead reloads for these, I'd like to ask if there's any issue about teflon that you may want to share. One I've chanced upon is that these scrub off the bore a little at a time, eventually reducing the barrel's accuracy. Is this true?
Thanks for sharing
