I ordered a 500rd pack of Bitterroot Valley (BVAC) .40 180gr JHP from Cheaper Than Dirt, and when it got here I opened it up to find that the bullets were not JHP, but rather copper plated cast lead hollow points. I have gone back and forth with CTD and they basically just told me to pound sand, not their problem, and BVAC just isn't replying to my calls/emails. It looks like I'm stuck with this stuff.
I bought it for range fodder since it was relatively cheap, but I'm afraid to shoot it through a stock Glock barrel, which is my only .40 gun. My question is this - can I safely shoot all of this stuff through a factory Glock barrel with the polygonal rifling? Will it be as accurate as a true jacketed bullet? I'm shooting IDPA with it so it needs to be reasonably accurate.
By the way, lesson learned from CTD. I've always heard shady things about them but now I've experienced it and they will get no more of my business.
