Frequently Asked Questions and Tips for Loading

Q: What are 'Polymer Coated Bullets'?
A: Bullet Corp’s Polymer Coated Bullets are precision-cast bullets encased in a durable polymer shell. This innovative coating serves a similar function to copper plating, but with the added benefit of being made from high-quality polymer. Unlike many plated bullets that use soft lead, our hard lead alloy ensures optimal performance even under higher stress levels, allowing our bullets to withstand more powerful loads.

Q: What are the advantages of Bullet Corp Coated Bullets?
A:

• Prevents Lead-to-Bore Contact: Eliminates lead fouling in the barrel.
• No Smoke or Unpleasant Odors: Our coating provides a clean shooting experience without smoke or the typical plastic burning smell.
• Range-Friendly: Bullets feed reliably in automated bullet feeders, making them ideal for high-volume shooting.
• High Velocity Capable: Shoot at higher velocities without the risk of lead fouling.
• Versatile Use: Safe for polygonal rifling, such as that found in Glock barrels.
• Lower Cost and Longer Barrel Life: Enjoy cost-effective performance while extending the lifespan of your firearm.
• Durable and Resilient: The coating is thermally stable, resistant to weathering and chemical degradation, and provides excellent wear and abrasion resistance.
• Self-Lubricating: Our bullets offer reduced friction and enhanced performance without the need for additional lubricants.
• High Pressure and Heat Resistance: Bullet Corp coated bullets are designed to withstand extreme conditions while maintaining their integrity.

Q: Do you offer sample packs?
A: We no longer offer sample packs. However, we encourage you to explore our product range, and we are happy to assist with any specific inquiries you may have.

Q: Do the bullets smoke when being fired?
A: No, Bullet Corp coated bullets produce significantly less smoke than traditional lubed bullets, as our coating serves as the lubricant. However, some smoke may still occur depending on the type of powder used, as certain powders are more prone to producing smoke.

Q: How fast can these bullets be fired?
A: Bullet Corp coated bullets can be fired as fast as the hardness of the lead alloy permits. They are designed to perform under high-stress conditions without compromising on quality.

Q: Is the diameter of the bullet measured before or after coating?
A: The sizing of the bullet includes the coating. The bullets are not sized until after they have been coated, ensuring they maintain the proper dimensions for accuracy and performance.

Q: Does the Bullet Corp coating add size to the bullet?
A: No, the coating does not add any additional size to the bullet. The bullets are sized after the coating is applied to ensure precise dimensions.

Q: Can I shoot these bullets through a Glock (polygonal rifled barrel)?
A: Yes, Bullet Corp coated bullets perform just like plated or jacketed bullets and will shoot accurately through polygonal rifled barrels such as those found in Glocks.

Q: Will there be any residue left in my barrel after shooting?
A: No, Bullet Corp coated bullets leave minimal to no residue in the barrel. They are cleaner than copper-plated bullets, and any residue present is from the powder, not the coating.

Q: Do I need a gas check with your bullets?
A: No, our coating is specifically designed to withstand high pressures and heat, eliminating the need for a gas check.

Q: Don’t hard cast bullets need lubrication?
A: The Bullet Corp coating is self-lubricating, preventing lead from making contact with the bore. Our coating will not leave any streaking or residue in the barrel, and many users report cleaner bores after shooting our bullets.

Q: Can I use these bullets in my open gun?
A: Absolutely. Bullet Corp coated bullets perform excellently in open guns and major power factor loads, without leaving residue in compensators or muzzle brakes. You’ll also experience less smoke, which enhances visibility during rapid-fire shooting.

Q: How should I load Bullet Corp coated bullets?
A: Please refer to our Reloading Data for detailed information on how to load our bullets safely and effectively.

Q: Is it safe to shoot steel targets with Bullet Corp coated bullets?
A: Yes, our coated bullets are safe for use on steel targets, as they deform and splatter like regular hard cast lead bullets. In fact, they are even safer than copper-jacketed bullets, as they break into smaller pieces rather than sharp fragments. Always wear eye and ear protection, and adhere to safety guidelines when shooting steel targets.

Q: Can Bullet Corp coated bullets be used in an indoor range?
A: Yes, our bullets can be used in most indoor ranges as they contain no exposed lead. However, we recommend checking with your local range for confirmation.

Q: Does Bullet Corp sell to wholesalers?
A: At this time, we no longer sell to wholesalers.

Q: Do you sell loaded ammunition?
A: No, we only sell the bullets themselves, not pre-loaded ammunition.

Q: What coating is used for Bullet Corp coated bullets?
A: Bullet Corp bullets are coated with our proprietary Bullet Corp Coating, a self-drying, self-lubricating polymer. This coating is engineered to perform under extreme temperatures, high pressure, and harsh conditions.

Q: How is the Bullet Corp coating applied?
A: After casting, each bullet is coated with Bullet Corp’s specialized polymer coating. The bullets are then baked at 180°C in a commercial oven. Once cooled, a second coat is applied to ensure maximum durability and performance. For more details, please refer to our Coating Instructions.
