hello I just got a Hi-point 9mm carbine. put 200 rounds thru it with just a few ftes with blazzer brass 115 gr fmj. dead on and fun to shoot. With the longer barrel how will 115 gr lrn reloads shoot, will they lead bad.

Several factors have an effect on leading, barrel condition, lead hardness, velocity, bullet diameter, etc. I don't know how smooth Hi-Point bores are so that is a major factor. Don't try to hot rod your loads with lead, try plated bullets. Priced between lead and jacketed, they are an economical alternative.

You can shoot lead out the hi point. I do it quite a bit without issue. Just make sure you have a good lube and you'll be OK.

You should be fine. Worse case scenario is you have to adjust your load a little.

a slug with a diameter a couple thous over groove size likely will do better.

Hi Marine, this old swabbie shoots plated 115 grain bulets and some lead. I have had no problems with leading. Keep all the velocities down to 1000 or 1100 fps.
The gun is definately a "fUN Gun" but is also an UGLY gun. I wish someone would make an after market black stock that looks good!

125gr MB SmallBall over 6.0 gr Blue dot was a great load for my 995TS

I had one in 40sw. It shot everything i put in it, fmj, lead. No problems, so i would assume you would be ok as well with the 9mm.

Thanks everyone for the replys. I will go out to the range and see how it goes.
