RAP Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I like Missouri Bullets 40 cal 180 grain coated. They are consistent and shoot very well out of my Limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfieldshooter Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) My own. No shortages,shipment issues and if there is a quality problem I know who to blame. And:- The price is right.

dspring Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I use Acme for 147 gr, and Blue Bullets for 125 gr. I like them both. Differentiate for safety reasons, so I can always tell which one is which (ACME are bright red for those who have never used them). Have used Bayou in the past, they all seem equivalent to me frankly can't tell which one is best. All are consistent, accurate enough for IDPA and USPSA.

kells81 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) When I started up loading 9m earlier this year I bought a bunch of Acme bullets. I had a little issue with shaving on my 550 and had some real issues when I moved to a 650. I ended up using a 38S die to seat 9mm because the Redding and Dillon dies I have seem to try to close the case prior to a full seat. After digging into it a little more I found that digging 20 bullets out of the bucket that acme was all over the place on size. My next order will be either plated or the blues.

kells81 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Diameter. Its not a huge difference but large enough. It seems that some of them are coated heavier than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got an order wanting to try it out based on some of the reviews. The box it comes in is a really nice touch.

Dr Mitch Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Blue bullets right now. I picked up some Swamp Popper bullets to try while I was at the Gator Classic. They seem pretty nice, but I have to wait to load them. My 650 broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hcore44 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I agree on the bayou 135s. They are my go to for idpa and anything under major loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I'll third the Bayou 135 recommendation. Best all around 9mm coated bullet I've used, I've even used them for major in 38 super and they held it together and gave good accuracy. I've also had good experiences with SNS and Blue. Tried a few other brands and they were fine, but I've pretty much settled on Bayou, SNS, and Blue for my coated bullet needs just to keep things simple.

firewood Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I placed an on-line order for 3300 Bayou 135g 9mm on Monday before noon. Specified standard ground (USPS) $15.00 shipping and they were delivered Thursday in PA. I really don't see how any company could possibly do better, price/delivery/quality. Plus Bayou sponsors many events in my area. So I find myself tempted to try another when reading about customer experiences in the forums but Bayou has been very good to me so I continue to be a happy customer.

I was at a USPSA match last week and after the shoot a bunch of guys were distributing bullets they purchased as a group buy from them. A whole pick-up full of them. I didn't realize they were in NJ.

Scott Steele Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Bayou bullets. But, that's all I've ever bought and run. No problems so no need to change.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
