jmorris Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 My first thought was that $7 a month is such a small amount of money your decision shouldn't be driven by price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadarTech Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I chose between extreme and berry's and find the extreme to be better bullets and cheaper. But it depends on the gun..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcs Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 As you can see, you get a lot of views. It really depends on "your" budget. Forget lead bullets--to much smoke and lead in the air. If money is no object--Montana Gold. I have used all the bullets mentioned. Copper Jacketed are easier to reload than plated or coated. If you go coated, Bayou is very good. I got a great price break on X-treme plated and they rock. One note: We are talking Minor or 40 minor or major. For open--Montana Gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonman16 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 The POLYMER COATED bullets with (HI-TEK formula) from Australia are being sold both as COATED BULLETS or as the COMPONENTS TO COAT your own castings. (Color & Catalyst, you supply the Acetone). Bayou Bullets, Gateway Bullets and SNS Casting are three of the manufactures offering this coating or coated projectiles at the present time that I know of. I'm sure there will be more companies as MORE AND MORE shooters are exposed to this wonderful product, NO LUBING MESS, NO LEADING, NO SMOKE to speak of, CLEAN BARRELS, What's not to like? AUSSIE Competitive Shooters have used them for YEARS! I'm impressed with the ones I've coated and shot, especially going from conventional lubed or ALOX lubed projectiles.

Quag Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 As a relatively new reloader/shooter (started reloading in Jan 2012) I'm up to about 8000 rds of 9mm 147 gr in a Dillon 550B. I started reloading during the mess when you could not get components so I did not have the luxury to start with a consistent set of bullets, powder or primers. Now that I have finally got my training wheels off I'm getting more selective on my chice of components. My bullet choices started with Berrys or MG and now Bayou. While my initial selections were driven by avaibablity rather than perfomance I just got my first 1000 of Bayou and chronoed them last weekend. They reloaded great and I did not have a single failure using my case guage over 300 rds. Typically I'd get 1-2 failures on the Berrys per 300 rds (don't know why). For my skill set Accuuracy was fine and the recoil seemed less at a lower powder charge. I'm sold on Bayou as long as they are in stock. For the Bayou I dropped by powder charge by about .3 grns compared to the Berrys/MG and still get the same PF. I use 231 for practice and I'm going to use Tite group for matches but I have not used it yet. and yes Donnie is a great guy he spent some time with me on phone and did not give me that "attitude" you get sometimes when you ask new shooter/reloader questions. He also said spring is there, the gators are stiring. if that could only happen up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve RA Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) BBI is also now using the coating from Australia, just black instead of the green that Bayou uses. https://www.blackbulletsinternational.com/Product_Store.php Edited March 16, 2014 by Steve RA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalkdust21 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 This is an old thread that got revived. Since I originally posted 2 years ago the coating on the Bayou bullets has changed. This new coating is much better in my opinion. It is cleaner to handle and I don't notice a smell when I shoot like the old coating. I shoot these almost exclusively now. Has anyone tried this newer coating against tight group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
