Blue bullets

gadabout · October 16 2020 12:21:52 PM MDT

Well I got my 115g round noise 9mm blue bullets in today only took 3 months. I did get a e-mail stating they were about 10 weeks behind in shipping but they didn't make that date anyway. I got enough to last me a while so I don't care but it just seems to me there biggest customers are completion shooters and I wonder if they can wait 3 months for there order??? Oh well I did well with my other blue bullets that I can't even order so I guess I will live with this and really I now have enough to last me a couple years or so. Of course if they are better than what I am shooting than 6 months will be pushing it. I will report as soon as I load and shoot some of these. Craig

Range report!!! I shot the blue bullets today in the Sig and the P-38. All I can say is when you can't see the holes in the target and your sure you are missing, then you go and check the target and all the holes are in the black bulls eye it doesn't get any better than that for me!!! The 40 also was in the black and functioned OKexcept for one failure to feed. I can live with that. Craig

Coated bullets are (IMO) the wave of the future. No copper, no waxy lube. I powder coat all mine and I'll never shoot TMJ, FMJ, or wax lubed bullets again.

How clean is your bore staying? With polymer I'd expect some color fouling?

I have only shot about 20 of these but there was no color that I saw in the barrel or anywhere. I just don't have enough to burn them up and the weather has been weird but this week is going to be nice so I hope to get out.

Anyone that doesn't want to wait weeks for bullets needs to check out https://summitcitybullets.com/index.php?route=common/home
He is currently working on adding .40/10mm bulkets to his lineup. He has several different options for 9mm/380.

He usually ships next day and my last order was 4 days to my door.

I saw your Summitcity link before but I don't know what that coating really is. Kind of a rough finish if you ask me but each to his own. I just finished 100 of my blue bullets and am planning to give some of these as stocking stuffers at Christmas!! I have done it in the past and it gets a good laugh! Anyway the reloading went without a hitch as I am being most watchful on the flare and it helps with seating of course. Craig

Well I ordered 750 more of the 115g RN so I expect them in 3 months or so. I also ordered 180g RN in 40 cal. We are having fun now!!!! Craig

gadabout · November 14 2020 02:02:23 PM MST

Well I guess I screwed up the order and ordered 200g 40 cal bullets instead of 180. It's OK as I can use them for 10mm but I would like to try them with the 40. Anybody got and ideas for data with Power Pistol or something else??. Craig

Hey thanks Wade you answered my question on another thread. The Nosler data is spot on and I will try it when the bullets get here. Thanks again. Craig

Got an e-mail that my order of blue bullets has shipped already. Must be caught up on their production and shipping. Craig

Well I got the 40 cal blue bullets today so I will load them up in 40 cal or 10mm to test. I am hopping for 40 cal. Craig

On my way to the range to test the 40 cal blue bullets. I only have 20 reloaded so it will me a short trip but should tell me if the gun works. I loaded these 200g at 5.3 power pistol as Nosler said these are the most accurate with 5.8 being max. Will post when I get back. Craig

Boy they are a stout round but very accurate. My gun is very bad but if you can get it to feed it shoots great. These rounds were very accurate just like the 9mm. I love them and will experiment more. Craig

They work great in every caliber I've tried. So far 9mm, 10mm, 40 S&W and 45 ACP. Best thing is I only live about 10 miles from them. My LGS carries most of their offerings on the shelf.

Even pushing them a little fast with Power Pistol in 9mm I've had no issues with fouling and still getting great accuracy with the 125gn cone shaped projo.

gadabout · January 10 2021 08:03:12 AM MST

Yeah on another thread I was talking about 9mm being accurate. When I first loaded and shot them I couldn't see holes in the target!! but when I went down to the target all the bullet holes were in the bullseye! I have ordered more in 38 for 357 and others as am very sold on the performance. Craig
