I guess I'm "maturing" as a pistol reloader.

Well.. I'm breaking down. I don't think I'll be cleaning primer pockets anymore, too much work and it slows things down too much. I guess if the pockets get really bad I might do it.

Next maybe I'll start using just lead instead of plated bullets?

If you are going to change to lead, give the poly coated bullets a try. MUCH better and MUCH cleaner than standard lead...

Absolutely. I'm using them in my .40 and .45's and am quite happy.

And I haven't cleaned pistol primer pockets in over half a decade, with no ill effects. My wrists are happier, too.

Can someone pm me a source for "poly coated" bullets?

Google comes up empty handed.

Thanks,

(on the tone of the origonal thread: How often do you inspect case length on pistol brass? I always do it, but last night after serveral hundred pieces with nothing out of spec and never having had one out of spec before, I was considering giving up.)

Unless your source ships to MA, it is not "for everones [sic] use."

If it DOES ship here, you are a fool for posting it. The mods should delete the post accordingly.

Yes, it was

Could someone PM me the info on polycoated bullets. I live in a Free State, so I won't even ask that they ship to the People's Republic.

High quality hard cast lead bullets leave little or no residue at even jacket bullet velocities.

Oregon Trail Laser Cast are my choice.

BTW, I clean (and uniform) the primer pockets of my rifle match ammo but nothing else. I am mostly doing it to ensure no high primers in my 223 ammo since ARs have a floating firing pin.

I clean primer pockets. I figure anything worth doing is worth doing all the way. Besides I have lots of time on my hands
