SNS Casting in 9mm 147 grain round nose sized to .356 with the red coating. They really pack the box well with lots of padding to ensure the bullets don’t get damaged in shipping.

I've been buying Badman Bullets. They have a great polymer coating that is good to 2200 FPS even though I don't need half of that speed. I find them extremely accurate and the price isn't bad either. Patrick is a great guy to deal with and will answer any bullet or reloading question over the phone. They ship out you order very quickly also. I've tried a lot of others ,and most were ok , but Badman bullets has the complete package for me.

Bayou bullets, but have heard good things about Blue Bullets. Next order gonna be with Blue unless someone can absolutely sway me otherwise?

Order the Blue, you will be happy.  As per chrono results out of my edge and Sig max, the blues were faster than xtreme plated and bbi loaded to same length and same powder charge. On avg. 35 fps faster than bbi and 61 fps faster than the plated.

Blue are fine ... except,  the coating comes off on your fingers. Looks like you've been eating blueberry's after 100 rounds. (I hand set the bullets)

Bayou.  I've tried Blue bullets, to some success.

 

There are soooo many coated bullet mfgs.  Some individuals even bake their own.

Which brand of coated bullets are your favorite? If yours isnt listed please name it below along with weight and caliber.

 i  was about   to  mention that MINE are the ones  i'm using  for the  game.  


i'm using the  lyman  401638 FP  with  hi tek coating ;  with   quenching and  2    layer of  coating i'm getting 22BHN which is  more than enough hardeness  for  the mighty fourty caliber.  i'm getting more  accuracy  with my own coated  rounds  than with  middle  of  the  road  jacketed  commercial ammo  because  i  resize  on a 4500 resizer  at .400.  and  all my  rounds  weight virtually the  same  and the  circumference's  consistency   is  very  ,very good  whereas  most  of  the  commercial  bullets  i've  used  to this  day including zero are  sometimes  far  from being consistent between those lines.
