Videos tagged with Coated Lead Bullets

This video tests the performance of bare lead, coated lead, and jacketed bullets through a Glock Gen 5's marksman barrel. The instructor found that the Gen 5 barrel handled bare lead bullets surprisingly well with minimal leading, performing better than previous Glock generations. While coated bullets are still recommended for ease of use and reduced lead exposure, the Gen 5 barrel shows promise for lead projectile compatibility.

This video tests three brands of coated lead bullets (SNS, Blue Bullets, and Gallant) for smoke production during shooting. The presenter conducts a cold bore shot test for each brand, using Alliant Sport Pistol powder, to evaluate performance as the barrel heats up. The results indicate that SNS bullets produced significantly more smoke compared to Blue Bullets and Gallant bullets, which smoked about the same. Accuracy was also briefly discussed, with Gallant and SNS potentially being more accurate than Blue Bullets in the presenter's firearm.
