Distant Thunder Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Just ordered some to try in my Single Stack Trojan and Production Glock 17. Their current favorite is the Atlanta Arms 147 gr. so we'll see how the two compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzt Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 My club bans jacketed or plated for steel, so a bunch of shooters who don't reload are using them. They seem to like them. I reload, so I have no use for the ammo, although I would consider trying the bullets when they become available in bulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 At $14/box, man, get a reloader! That has to hurt after a very short time. Even a Baby Dillon will pay for itself in a very short time. The heavy coated bullets are available from several places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas45 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Browned has them in stock. $129.99 for 500 plus free shipping. Little expensive but wanted to try in my JP PCC as I don't reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Stevens Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 You can also buy just the bullets. I really like the 154/150 grain 9mm factory load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverscooby27 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Do you guys really think this ammo is better than other match grade fmj ammo? I just remember back when I used to shoot moly coated just because it was cheaper and this stuff reminds me of that. Is it an emperor in new clothes kind of thing? Am I missing something? Is it just really good marketing? Especially .45 acp. 52 cents per round? That’s ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little expensive but wanted to try in my JP PCC as I don't reload. guys at JP told me they use the cheapest 9mm ammo available in their 9mm carbines. $260/case is WAY above cheap. last winter with fed's rebate i bought a couple cases of their 115g at like 190-200/case shipped from targetsportsusa and then the fed 25% rebate off of that. also couple of cases of blazer aluminum from PSA @$160/case shipped.

Even the projectiles where expensive from what I remember looking around online. Bayou (obviously), BBI, Acme, Blue all cheaper and of similar quality. Personally I think Federal is kind of missing the target on this one for the competition market. However, the person that 'shoots alot' and goes the the range twice a week to punch some holes in paper, this is right up their alley. Unfortunately for us, that market is WAY bigger than the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
