chirpy Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I recently ordered some 180 gr. 40's from Roze's Dist. and received them within a week. No problems there. FWIW Richard PS: Have always had good luck with them...even .380's when they were hard to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vluc Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) I asked Alison at Zero. 115 and 125 grain only. I was hoping to see them in 147 to have more options when one style dries up. Not meant to be. Edited September 7, 2010 by vluc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW Richard PS: Have always had good luck with them...even .380's when they were hard to get. The last time I ordered from them, they told me (on the phone) it depends on what they're cranking out at the time, i.e. they don't make all varieties all the time. If you order .40 180s when they're making them, you're fine. If you order something like 9mm 135gr...well, you'll be waiting a while. I ordered some of those 9mos ago...still waiting. 147gr FMJ's only took two months, but 147gr JHP's were a no go.

vluc Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I don't believe we will see the 135's for quite some time, and the 147 JHP's may be going out again. They were calling customers to fill orders on the 147's as they are running them now, but that run is going to end soon, and in fact may have already stopped.

RH45 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Hmm, I just got 5k of Zero 125 grain, .356, jhp. I suppose I better cut the box open to see what they look like. If they are different, I sure hope they feed, and are as accurate as the old ones were! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH45 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I opened one of the boxes, and the ones they sent me are the same, old bullet profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfrank Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I love Zero bullets and I have fired many thousands of them with great performance. I understand their back log, especially with the Obama scare, but it irritates me to wait the required 4-6 weeks and then find out the bullets are not currently in production. I always order online, it might save me aggravation to just call and see what they actually have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakshow10mm Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I was thinking of adding their bullet to my commercial match ammo but I think I'll try Montana Gold since they seem to have better availability even though the price is higher.

G-ManBart Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 SLM brought one of these to the match on Sunday so I could check it out...nice looking bullet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigman08 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I've had 6k 147 JHP's on order from PV since the first week of December... I called back in late spring to see if my order was still in their books & it was... I may call again & check to see if I can get an update, not that I'm expecting anything favorable.

Adam I contacted Powder Valley today to make sure that my order from 12/09 was still in their system and it was... I was told that they have 100k of what I'm assuming are all 147 JHP's on BO, but they still have no info on when they expect to receive their order.

S-Hurt Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Zero just sent me 1,000 147 grain JHP and they look great! They must be "in stock" now. They appear to be a little longer than my Montana Gold 147 FMJ bullets if thats possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Pistolero Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Alison sent me some of the new 115 grainers and I finally got to try them out. These are six shot groups fired from 50 yards. I weighed a bunch of them and they varied from 114.6 to 115.3. The weight difference didn't seem to matter much as the 1st group was mixed weights and the second group was all of the same weight. Groups 3, 4 , and 5 were fired after 100 rounds. Groups 1 and 2 were from a clean barrel. I compared the length of the bullet with an XTP and they are exactly the same. With my calipers, the diameter measured .3565. I've been shooting Sierra's and these bullets are on par with them. I still need to do some chrono testing but it looks like I found a new bullet.

lrjet Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Kevin: Did you run those groups with WST---somewhere around 4.8 gr?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Pistolero Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Damn good groups Action Pistolero!!! Thanks. I pride myself in coming up with load combinations that produce these results. The load is my standard 4.7 grains of WST. I still need to do some chrono testing to see if I need to bump up the load. In my experience, Zeros are notorious for going slower than other bullets with the same load. Since WST is reverse temperature sensitive I will also need to heat the rounds up and see what that does to velocity. I'll play with the overall length and see if some of the sensitivity goes away. I shortened my Sierra load and velocities between hot and cold didn't vary as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I put in an order with Zero on 9-30-10, they arrived yesterday, 10-19-10. There was a bit of a delay on my end, as my bank (while informed prior to the order) didn't allow the debit to go thru due to their daily limit on debit purchases. If you talk to them, you will want to be inquisitive on what is in and what is on back order...along with what might be a similar alternative. (for example, then didn't have my 9mm 125JHP's, but did have 124FMJ's) Here is what was in and shipped with my order: - 9mm, 115 JHP - 40, 180 JHP - 45, 230 FMJ - 40, 165 TCFM - 9mm, 125 FMJ - 38spl, 158 JHP I asked about the 9mm XTP style and they didn't have those in stock when I ordered.

Maksim Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 would be tempted to see the new ones. I was looking for zero bullets when i started reloading, however could not find them in stock. Went with MG, and could not be happier... and yes, they look prettier. lol. saw some zero bullets at a gun show, finally, and honestly, was not impressed versus MG.
