planeflyer21 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Yes!But not in gas guns. Taking other people's word for granted, they say the lube and leading fouls a gas system in a manner that will allow you to fill a dictionary with four-letter words.I will state that I've seen no reviews of anyone trying gas checked moly coated lead in gas guns DI nor piston). That seems like it may be fairly reasonable for an attempt at it.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripledeuce Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 My brother and I shot thousands of lead loads through our M-1 carbines! Bur, if I didn't strip the short stroke piston and clean it every 400-500 rds, they would lead up so bad that the piston wouldn't move!!!! Getting the piston loose and out required a procedure I now know to be so dangerous ,I'm not going to even tell how I did it! Stupid Kids seem to get away with a lot of dangerous stuff. I wouldn't even THINK of running lead through a gas system, unless I was planning on throwing away the gas tube and replacing it when the gun stopped working.

planeflyer21 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 What?!?No melting it out with a propane torch to cast more boolits?Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripledeuce Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 No, but I once did that with a SS ,22 that had bullets suck from the breach withen @2" from the muzzle. It was a long time ago, but I think that when we weighed the lead, it added up to 12 or 15 bullets,,,LOL!!! Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Wont be using lead on my rifles !! Thx guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 You shouldn't let us dissuade you from lead in your manually operated blasters.Lead is the poop when it comes to impressive downrange killing performance!Nice wide meplat, nice big hole.Stories abound of hole-in and hole-out on big game, after SMASHING every bone in its path, with allegedly obsolete calibers.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planeflyer21 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Marlin Owners may get you all hot and bothered about a big bore .444 or .45-70 Govt. pushing ounces of lead down the bore in one shot...but not here.We have the .338 Lapua and .458 SOCOM for that. <laughs>Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt.Cross Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 It's only real fun if it is a crescent buttstock, that comes to a nice dagger point on each end. ;DJonBrings to mind my dad's .54 cal Thompson Center Hawken. It's got a gorgeous walnut stock and fine brass decorations and a brass buttplate that comes to nice sharp points top & bottom just like Jon described. Load that sucker up with about 200 grains of black powder and a swaged 500gr slug, and call the ambulance ahead of time, cause' you're gonna feel pain when you send that sucker downrange.

MikedaddyH Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 OK... Back on the subject again. How about this ? .309" dia lead bullets in an AK 7.62 x 39 russian ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Too small. Those jacketed bullets are .311/.312. I've seen cast lead as big as .314 for the Russian rounds.The issue will be leading and inaccuracy with the smaller diameter.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 A gas check may work ,properly sized, depends on the barrel . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowshooze Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Just tooling up for 180 grain Semi-FP GC. .310 size die. Sould be limited more by the leads velocity restrictions than the weight, so that's one reason for the 180, plus a bit more gas pressure or volume. And there is always paper patching if straight up hard cast doesn't work. I will keep you posted, it is coming. But I just joined up here, and was glad to see the comments on this topic.

Tripledeuce Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I'v shot, literaly, hundereds of thousands or rounds through the 1911 .45ACP, and they work great there!!!!! Also shot lots through SS and bolt guns. Even shot lead through the old Remington Mod8 recoil operated semi. Just didn't work well through the gas operated semi's.

Dane Armory Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 How about shooting lead through a blow-back 9mm AR ?? Found some 9mm ( 0.356"dia) RNFB 125gr projo;s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 You shouldn't have any issues on that blowback system! If you can find them, Bear Creek Supply's molycoated bullets...very clean, never had a fouling issue with them. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
