Rainier bullets
« on: July 24, 2011, 04:50:24 AM »
Has anyone used Rainier bullets in their Glock? No leading problems with my Ruger P97, getting a Glock 30 tomorrow. I have 2000 of these bullets and plan on using them in the Glock. If there is a problem I can always get a LW barrel.

Assuming you're talking about the Rainier Plated bullets, you should be good to go in any pistol at moderate velocities.

Yup, plated, 230 gr RN. My load chronos at 825 from my Ruger with 4.5" barrel. I'm guessing the Glock 30 with 3.78" barrel would be around 780/800.

I use Rainier and Berry's plated bullets almost exclusively in my Glocks.
The Glock 30 is a great gun, the only thing that won't work in it is the plated (or jacketed) semi-wadcutters (SWC). The round nose or flat points should be fine.

No problems here using copper plated from both companies in my G23. 40 s&w and 9mm with the drop in barrel.
