- The one and only reason I no longer shoot lead bullets in my Glock 17
- is I get absolutely terrible groups with them ! I do get good groups
- with jacketed and copper plated (not the copper wash) but lead are just
- atrocious.

- #Does it apply to the .45 ACP also?

- I believe the problem above is due to the polygonal barrel in 9mm Glocks.
-
- The big-bore Glocks do not have a polygonal barrel and should work fine
- with lead. A friend shot 200 grain SWC with 4 grains of Bullseye and
- got 5" (10 shot) groups at 10 yds the first time he shot his G21.
-
- If someone knows of a lead bullet which will give good groups in the
- 9mm Glock please post your load info and more importantly what bullet
- exactly are you shooting.
