dlouie87 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Sorry for the rookie questions but getting into reloading. Do most prefer JHP over CMJ? Why is that? Is there a different reloading process in reloading JHP vs CMJ? I just bought some dillon dies for my 550b so I just wanted to make sure there is not an extra process to it. -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 No extra process at all! Most have found JHP's to be a little more accurate because of the way they are made. Other than that they are just a bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that they are just a bullet. well, only 8 bucks more than the CMJ, why not! If i'm just getting into reloading and have just been shooting 115gr walmart federal, is the 124gr a good weight to start reloading at? I know there has been the discussion about 147s vs 124s but I have only shot 115s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 There is a lot of debate between 124 and 147 but very little debate that 115's are not the best choice for minor loads. FWIW I tried 147's but went back to 124's. They felt better to me and you get more for the same money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PD costs about the same and are not as good a bullet. Zero's are, and pretty much always have been, nearly impossible to find. Plated don't cut it and cost nearly as much. Looks like MG is the best thing going. Still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maksim Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 This is why I switched to extreme bullets. Quite a bit cheaper. We are doing a group but on our forum. Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renzo808 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Berry's Bullets, from what I heard is good too. But right now they aren't taking any orders on their website until they fulfill all their current orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Yep, Extreme is the answer, 34,000 124g bullets arriving on Mon, I should be good for a few months ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you got some kind of discount by buying that many you still paid more for those plated bullets than you would MG JACKETED bullets. Looks like their 124 JHP's are $97 per thousand. I don't see a case price on the site. You can get MG 's 3750 for $348. Extreme works out to about $364 for the same amount of bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishsticks Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Whew, glad I saw this thread. I've been waiting for these to come back in stock. Now if only PV would get some CCI spp in, or at least start accepting back orders in I would have a little of each in reserve.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireman489 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Sarge, as I am a new reloader, can you tell me, is the difference between plated & jacketed REALLY that much ?? I just started reloading & started out w 1000 Rainier Ballistics 124g LPRN... I paid $105 w shipping.... so far Im happy with em but I do notice they vary in size (length) by about .009 ... wonder if thats why my OAL vary by .005 -.008 ??

fireman489 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 ohh & what about the Bayou Bullets ? How do they stack up comparatively to the Rainier & the MG ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspian guy Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Boy was I glad to see these come back in stock. Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Speak your wisdom please Good luck with that! Some guys say plated bullets are fine and others say they have problems. All I can seriously recommend is that you load them up and shoot them. If your loads are consistent over a chrono, feed without issue, group well enough to assure an Alpha at 20 yards, don't keyhole, etc then they will be fine. Accuracy is critical. Make sure they are all of an oal that will feed 100% then make accuracy the number one priority then work on consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I tried 147's but went back to 124's. They felt better to me and you get more for the same money. Since I started shooting last summer I've shot 115, 124 and 147 grain ammo from different manufacturers. I found that I prefer 124 gr. Now that I'm reloading I started with 124 bullets. I will at some point like to try 147 just to see the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
