I was given 800 rounds of cast .45 in these 50 round sealed bags.

I was given 800 rounds of cast .45 in these 50 round sealed bags. I have a Glock 21 and everywhere I've looked online says not to shoot cast through it. Is it worth buying another barrel to be able to use all this?
>>
You could buy a GI model 1911 from RIA, they're cheap and adequate, and it can't hurt to have a 1911 in your collection.
>>
>>32494536
Glocks handle cast just as well as every other polygonal barrel.
Shoot them and clean. No problems.
>>
No guns here
What's wrong with cast and I thought Glocks were suppose to be durable?
>>
>>32494630
It's not about being durable it's about geometry and leading causing a pressure curve after many thousands of rounds and that can cause failure
>>
Hard cast lead or regular lead?

Just clean your barrel.

Doesn't matter
>>
Lead boolits and polygonal rifling is a myth. Just shoot your guns and dont worry about it.
>>
>>32494536
You now have an excuse to buy an old M1917 revolver and as many moon clips as you can find.
>>
>>32494611
Just get an auto ordinance, damn it. Flip guns were worth it when they were 300ish but not anymore
>>
Just clean the barrel every 150 rounds if it makes you feel better
>>
>>32495058
They're still around $350 or less for the basic GI model.

Stop letting your FLGS jew you.
>>
>>32494611
>>32495058
Meh, RIA's still not bad.
>>
>>32494536
I shot cast bullets out of my old gen 3 19 a couple years back, it jammed quite a bit, it was weird. Give it a try, I don't think it'll hurt anything to try a few mags worth.
>>
>>32495295
How many you shoot per session?
>>
>>32494536
youll be fine as long as you clean it. like every 200-300 rounds
>>32494784
its not a myth but its not as big a deal as they make it out to be. of course if they didnt say it idiots would shoot thousands of unjacketed lead rounds without cleaning and the guns would explode
>>
>>32494536
Don't shoot some random faggot's handloads.
>>
>>32495369
Yeah, this is good advice. Maybe with a .45 carbine it wouldn't really matter if the idiot double charged.
>>
>>32495378
It would still matter.
>>
>>32495387
It'd fuck up the gun but your hands would still be there.
>>
>>32495425
Possibly not, double charge would still likely blow up the gun.
>>
>>32495316
Like 3 or 4, and 1 out of every 4 rounds would cause a failure to feed. I thought it was just shit ammo, but I tried it in my Sig and had no problems whatsoever.
>>
>>32495489
I has the same issue with my Gen4. For cast or coated i had to seat the projectile about 2mm deeper to stop them getting caught on the feed ramp.

Now i just use plated rounds
