Precision Bullets- No Moly for ME, Thank you.
Frequently Asked Questions
http://www.precisionbullets.com/
Q: Do I use reloading data for lead or jacketed bullets?
A: You will use lead reloading data for Precision Bullets.
Q: Can I use Precision Bullets in my Glock?
A: Yes and No. We have many Glock shooters using Precision Bullets in factory Glock barrels with great results. However, I tell all Glock shooters it is try and see. If you have tried plated bullets and accuracy was good without keyholing, then ours should be fine. If you have tried traditional cast lead bullets and accuracy was good after 200+ rounds without heavy fouling, then our bullets will work fine and shoot a lot cleaner.
If your Glock won’t shoot Precision Bullets, then it will have problems fast—heavy fouling in 50 to 100 rounds, very poor accuracy, keyholing, etc. Then you will have to stick with jacketed bullets. However, this is very rare.
Q: Can I pick out my bullets at the factory?
A: No—we are not set up for retail sales at our factory. Due to insurance and the proprietary nature of our coding and equipment, we run a closed facility. All prices on the web site include shipping.
Q: What is the coating?
A: We use a proprietary solid dry film lubricant. This is similar to the moly/poly coatings on the market but is much tougher. We bake the coating onto the bullets, then restrike the bullets in carbide dies after the coating is applied.
Q: Will Precision Bullets work in my HK?
A: No—we have had customers try our bullets in HK’s with the polygonal rifling , but the results were poor.
Q: Can I use Precision Bullets in my 38 Super Open gun?
A: No—we don’t recommend our bullets for compensated guns. When the bullet passes through the compensator, the gases are diverted and will cut the base of the bullet causing way too much smoke and leading. Stick with JHP’s.
Q: Does Precision Bullets have a dealer discount program?
A: Not at this time. We use the volume discounts listed at the bottom of our product page.
Q: How do I become a sponsored shooter for Precision Bullets?
A: At this time, we are not adding sponsored shooters.

RELOADING TIPS
Make sure to have a good bell on the case so not to shave off the coating during the seating process.
Do not seat and crimp the bullets in the same die. Use a separate taper crimp die.
We highly recommend Dillon reloading equipment.
Do not use a roll crimp or Lee Factory Taper Crimp Dies.
The roll crimp will cut through the coating. You must use a taper crimp die.
The Lee Factory Taper Crimp Die will undersize the bullets causing accuracy and fouling problems.
Most of the time a heavier crimp will work better.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Too much smoke and fouling
Make sure you have a good bell on the case and not shaving through the coating during the seating process.
If you are using brand new brass, make sure there is not a sharp edge on the inside of the case mouth (try used brass).
Make sure you have a good crimp.
If you are using the Lee Factory Taper Crimp Die, try switching to a standard taper crimp die.
If you are seating and crimping in the same die, try switching to a separate seater and taper die.
Try a slower powder.
Slug your bore, oversized bores will foul heavily and be inaccurate. (Midway USA sells a good slugging kit.)
