I shoot a lot of 9mm. So much so, that at $95/1K for FMJ I just can't shoot as much as I want. So I found a deal in some hard cast lead 122gn Semi Wadcutters.
Got them in and loaded up 100rds to see how my HK clone would like them. The results were very positive. No issues with the loads, I loaded the same way I load my low power plinking rounds.
What got me was when I got home and cleaned the gun. 100rds, looked like the gun had been to war. The bolt was gunked up pretty bad, the chamber flutes looked good, but the entire bolt group/FCG/chamber was really dirty.
My first time with lead, the results were positive and I'll keep this going, but must pay attention to cleaning time!
Anything sound out of the ordinary here?
