Falcon Coated Bullets: Review

Post by doc540 »

Loaded a handful and shot them this evening.
WWB 115gn FMJ avg fps = 1148.
Using range brass and 4.3gr Win231, Falcon 115gr LRN avg fps = 1085,
Falcon 115gr coated avg fps = 1091.

No difference in accuracy, loaded the same in the Dillon with no more or less drag and same OAL when seating. Slightly less smoke.

BIG DIFFERENCE: much, MUCH cleaner. My Barsto Commander barrel was slick as a whistle, and I'll order more for that reason alone.

GREAT service, too.

Hope this helps. Target is 15yds, offhand, standing with carry sights, 1978 Colt Combat Commander in 9mm.

If you don't like the lipstick color, there's blue:

I'm environmentally conscious, I only use recycled ammo courtesy of my Dillon 550
