Blurryvisions Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Mike sold in August? So maybe the new management will start selling or producing again soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty others that are just as good, if not better: Bar-Sto, Nowlin, Kart, SV, KKM, etc. As for Schuemann, if he's still alive, he must be way up there in age. Last time I saw him was probably 20+ years ago, and I'd guess he was mid-60s or older then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what supporting USPSA has to do with barrel quality. If you have some facts to back it up, that would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been very happy with the KKM barrels in my CK and Cheely pistols. Thankfully, I've had pretty good luck getting ZERO bullets lately and since they are .02 cents cheaper than MG, I hope my luck continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I started shooting USPSA IN late 2008 and never saw an actual case of ZEROS until 2014 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's saving 20 cents per thousand bullets. Not sure that'd be a factor in my decision making process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm no longer (not currently) a high volume shooter, I haven't had an issues getting 147 grain JHPs since I started loading 9mm a couple years ago. Prior to that I got 180 grain 40S&W projectiles from Roze or Danny at AAA. But y'all stay miffed at them, so I can buy my measly 1K a month from them.

On another note I've never seen Zeros cheaper than the jhp's I shoot. Including a big group buy where I was quoted a bulk price that didn't beat the base price from mg or pd.

Including a big group buy where I was quoted a bulk price that didn't beat the base price from mg or pd. I attempted to save some more pennies a round by buying from RMR. But their website wouldn't work for either of my cards. Kept getting strange error messages even when I called them. I'll stick with Roze until I can't get them. When and if that happens, I may try MG. But I didn't see a 147 grain JHP on their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theWacoKid Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) From what I see Zeros are not 2 cents cheaper than mg's, they are MORE expensive. No mg doesn't make a 147 jhp but they have a nice flat point cmj. I shoot mostly jhp 124's and generally by retail pricing the zeros are over 10 cents, mg's under 10 cents, and pd's 9 cents. I don't believe you're saving money with zeros, you're actually spending more. Edited October 20, 2019 by theWacoKid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
