I don't get it. Another 9mm fail.
I tried again today, after hitek, pc (all failed), with 45-45-10 recluse tumble lube, and guess what, I got the worst leading in history.
OEM glock 17.
PC leads the less, hitek is next, and lube is worst.
COWW alloy. sized 357, 1 mil over barrel. Mildest load that will cycle the glock. Expanded with 38 expander. No swaging. No scraping, no FCD, no nothing. Pass plunk.
minimal crimp to plunk
pulled rounds are still 357
I use a medium load that will cycle the glock properly. Anything less does not cycle. (but with that 105 bullet, it has to go pretty fast to cycle, so that's maybe the issue. will go to a 124 weight).
I don't get it. Why does this refuse to stop leading. I am starting to be seriously annoyed.
Only 2 things I see now:
1: the OEM glock barrel leads no matter what with lube.
2: my COWW alloy is too ****ty and just smears down the barrel.
I've been trying for 2 years, there is nothing I didnt try.
I am seriously just about to sell all this, and buy boxes of cheap 124RN plated bullets.....
The only solution left would be to try PC + lube, since PC almost didnt lead (minimal after 100 rounds).
But seriously, I don't have time to PC. I have a baby.
Recluse lube gave worst results, smooth bore after 40 rounds. That's bad.
Any ideas? Is my alloy that bad?
