joestefano Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Does anyone make a plated bullet that is rated for over 1200 ft/sec? I am shooting an open Glock 35. I was using Berry's 155gr RN pushing it at 1100 ft/sec (to meet PF) until I bench rested the round and couldn't put 1 round in the black at 50 ft! Compared to their 180gr RN at 960 ft/sec all rounds in the black no problem. I am using Tight Group until the 16 lbs I have is gone. Then I will switch to HS-6 but I don't think that will make a difference since I still have to push the bullet at 1100 ft/sec. Is the difference between the 180gr and 155gr when using a compensator that much when using the same powder??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joestefano Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 Montana Gold Complete Metal Jacket. The reason I was looking for a plated bullet is that the indoor range I shoot at does not allow Metal Jackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDB Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I never had any luck with berry's. Use Rainier's if you can find them. I've pushed their 135s to 1275or so with no problems. You only need around about 1100 for 170PF. No problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 (edited) At the prices they're charging for plated bullets these days, I'd look at a coated (lead) bullet, save more money, and still be within the rules for that range.

R, +1 Billy bullets, Missouri bullets, there are several more out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PINMAN44 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 They dont allow jacketed bullets? Rainiers are pretty durable in a 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joestefano Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 UPDATE: I switched to HS-6 powder and compared Rainers and Berrys 155FP the Berrys proved to be more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splashdown Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I like Rainier 135 gr for my .40 open gun. I load them to around 1300 fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R, Coated with what? Missouri Bullets don't offer a coated bullet, at least that I could find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
