Blue Bullets / North Carolina

Thinking about getting their 250 ct. sample pack 125 gr RN 9mm. Anybody load & shoot these? Does the "blue" rub off on your fingers?

I run these with 4.3 gr. WST for a 130+ PF out of a 5" 1911.
Great range ammo-2" @ 25 yds.
Yes, the blue does come off on your fingers, but comes off with soap.

Highly impressed with the Blue Bullets from them, am using them in my 9mm with 3 grs. of Red Dot.

As the other party said, yes a slight amount comes off on your fingers and is easily washed off with soap & water.

Just finished running the sample pack with Power Pistol through my Glock 17 (OEM barrel) and they ran great. Will be ordering a few thousand of these soon.

As others have said, a little blue on the fingers but it comes right off.

I just loaded some last night with 4.4 gr of IMR SR7625 at 1.125". Few things that I noticed, they seem a bit wider at the base as compared to extreme 124gr round nose. They very slick. I pulled two of them to inspect the coating after seating and taper crimping. I use a collet puller vs the hammer style puller. I had to squeeze the bullet quite a bit to pull it out. As noted in previous post there is a very light blue residue on fingers after handling. I did not notice any blue residue on or around the press with the exception of the seating stem on the bullet seating die.

I shoot them. They work great, but I do have a few more of these than with other brands that end up with a round not fitting a case gauge. Overall though, not really a problem.

I use blue nitril gloves so I never noticed any blue rubbing off. I can say I don't get any blue out the barrel

They're blue. They're RN. They're blue ball?

 

[joustin]

CLP, I might have to get some of the 230's and label them with that lol

Thanks for the info guys!

Well just got back from the range fired 100 of the blue bullets in 125gr RN. Gun glock 19 functioned flawlessly. Cleaned the gun after coming home, no sign of leading or any sort of blue residue. Accuracy wise I did not see any difference between these an extreme plated bullets.

I have a sample pack on the way, looking forward to testing them out!
