shot some coated missouri bullets through my 9mm. no leading but left a lot of gunk in my barrel - i assume its from the coating. what do i use to clean the barrel?
 
I have been shooting really hot Missouri coated bullets without trouble...

But if you have trouble, just start experimenting with your solvents and brushes.
 
If you are having trouble with the coating coming off in your bore, you may want to try a shotgun cleaner designed to dissolve plastic wads.

the gun is a ruger lc9s. the barrel slugs at .3555. i have only shot about 200 rounds through it.
the bullets are 124 grain smallball - .356. the bhn is 18. the load was 3.7 grains of tightgroup.

i like the bullets and would like to shoot them as they were very accurate...for me.
 
Fast powder may well be a factor. I always prefer slower powders, hs-6, power pistol and the sort. I load 9mm, 45 acp, 40 s&w, 357 sig, 38 spl, and 30 Mauser. No problem so far.

thanks. i have been reloading for about 10 months and know that i have much to learn. i will try a slower powder and see what happens.
 
TITEGROUP is a fast burning powder that burns hot and violently.
IMHO, it is not the best powder for coated bullets because it burns so hot it may soften the coating, some of which may be left in the barrel

I disagree. I'm using 4 grains of Titegroup under a 115 grain Bayou coated bullet without issue. just a little residue from the powder. No coating is being left behind and (no gunk in the barrel). The gun I'm shooting is a Springfield RA 9 mm and in my opinion Titegroup is the go to powder for 9 mm.
I use it in my 380,38 spl/357, 9 mm , 40 S&W, and 45acp loads.
