Blue balls

[Benchrest]

Picked up some lead balls today - Powder coated em' blue and loaded em' up for the Vaquero



139gr, .451 diameter, loaded to an OAL of 1.481 with a medium crimp - three loads with predicted velocities of 938, 980, & 1,144. Should be fun water jug rounds

Like a double entendre:

You gonna shoot your blue balls at jugs?

That'll make a splash...

You know you wanna go two ball action.

But you clicked on it!

Listen guys, this is a technical forum, and as such we should probably keep to the discussion at hand.

A little humor never hurt anyone.
As a matter of fact reders digest says humor is the best medicine. Not to mention you choose the title

This is a serious discussion about my blue balls and what I intend to shoot them at!

I will reframe from talking about your blue balls. But will continue talking about your blue bullets.

Just wondering about what the powder coating does to the inside of the barrel.?

 

[Benchrest]

There's good documentation over at castboolits - As for my own guns (I shoot coated exclusively through my 9), other than being squeaky clean, I am aware of no effects.

I do plan to slug my barrels, and then again every few thousand rounds to track wear, though I'll admit I'm completely ignorant as to normal barrel wear for a 9mm.

I was playing with my balls and thought, you know, that birdman is right!

Two balls, maximize the payload!

Same OAL, powder charge cut in half, predicted velocity of around 700fps.

I suspect that the loads will chrono higher due to the minimal bearing surface (QL is calc'ing bullet parameters).

We shall see

Two balls is the only way to go

I thought blue balls was only something the wife could fix.

To be honest, when I saw the title to this thread, I thought he was talking about "blue pills".. which are actually proof loads for proving guns before they leave the factory. yea I'm a nerd

My bad. Thanks now I know how it works. Lol

Even my 'serious' statement was tongue n' cheek
