3djedi Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 New to 40's and looking for a "cheaper" 40 bullet to practice with. I saw some berrys 180g RS bullets for about 10 cents a peice. Would these be a good choice? Any other suggestions. This is for an STi.... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3djedi Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 I forgot to mention that I practice in an indoor range. Cast bullets are probably a bad idea. Don't they release more lead into the air?

Justsomeguy Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Though indoor ranges vary, they are supposed to be, by law, power vented to eliminate any hazard from lead dust that might be there. Having said that, some indoor ranges might not allow lead bullets, but I don't know of any around me that object to them. On the other hand, the newer "coated" lead bullets seem to retain their coating even when shot into steel and contain any lead splatter that might be a problem, so I think coated lead is now the way to go for inexpensive, accurate, and pretty much "safe" bullets. They are also a lot cleaner in the reloading process (you won't get any lead on your fingers handling them) and cleaner in the barrel too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Precision Bullets have a coated bullet that I have been using for some time. BBI has great products. Falcon Bullets are new to coating but have been around for a bit and they are another great option. All these are suggestions for coated cast bullets. Not sure that you would have any less exposed lead with any of the thinly plated bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerassassin22 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I would go with BBI never had a problem with Chandler's bullets. Show the owner of the range and let him shoot some another member did that and had great success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowenbuilt Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) Accurate and relatively cheap, I'd say that fits these to a T. www.thebluebullets.com Edited May 2, 2014 by bowenbuilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Gaines Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I have been using BBI's and I must say that I am impressed! first of all I use titegroup powder, and I figured I would look like a choo choo train, while shooting a stage, but with his new coating, that has been a non factor. his bullets are as advertised. I use less powder (8-10% less powder) and they are accurate. The impulse is similar to shooting lead, which I like. If you haven't tried them, they are definitely well worth a try. I would use these bullets over any of the bullets on the market today. In fact, I think its the ideal bullet for shooting sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second target is the same bullet in a Dan Wesson 10mm. And his prices include the shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3djedi Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 +1 for Berry's Bullets I ended up with berrys 180g RS not sure how much different the round shoulder is from the flat point but they were on sale so I picked them up. They were the berry's seconds so I got a discount. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grouptherapy Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Berry 180s shoot great out of my 23. Find a sweet spot working the load up and enjoy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaster113 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I use BBIs for practice and local matches. accuracy is great. Berrys are good bullets too but cost almost the same as jacketed bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3djedi Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 I ended up buying some of berry's RS 180g seconds. Cost about 10 cents a peice. So far, no thrilled with the accuracy. I may just end up getting some MG jhp's. I use those in 9mm and they are excellent. .. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWprotected Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I have used both Bayou and Blue bullets, both are very accurate out of my Edge, I have tested loads with both bullets and there is very little difference in velocity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noylj Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Cast lead would be my first choice. Mastercastbuets.com or Missouri Bullets would be my first choices. If going with coated, Precision Bullets is my #1 choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noylj Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 For some reason, my iPhone seems to refuse to type "ll," so I keep posting buets--and auto correction lets it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
