I received an order of 3,360 yesterday. I made up a few hundred test loads last night, and I'm heading to the range here shortly. I'll post up results later on.

I was able to get out with the range with the ones I loaded up. First off, these (the 125 gn) bullets can be loaded LONG. I loaded them at 1.15 and they plunk tested in every 9mm I own. Even my untouched CZ barrels that I have to load to 1.10 max. I loaded 125 each @ 1.15 using 3.2 & 3.7 grains of Titegroup. I then chronoed 10 strings with each load. The 3.2's were shot through my SP-01, the 3.7's were through my 16" Foxtrot Mike PCC. Here is the best string from each.

I've only been competing for a few years, so I'm way behind most all of you guys. I've been using 147's since I started, but the 125's seem to get back on target faster with my pistol. Through my PCC with a Holosun 510c using my range bag for a rest, they pretty much shoot one hole at 25 yards. I was impressed with the accuracy. No keyholing either. Through my pistol they shoot as good as I do, which isn't saying much lol. I wanted to put them on paper at 50 yards, but the range was packed the day I went. I did lob off a few at some dirt clods on the berm and they all shot to point of aim. All in all, I'm sold on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're priced right so nice to know they're quality bullets as well. Nice to know you can load them longer than most RN bullets. I took some DG RN 135s out on Friday. Bullet plunked well in my SP-01 barrel at 1.135. Coating seemed nicer than Blue Bullets. The weight is pretty consistent on these. Average weight is actually 136gr with about 0.5gr variance.Don't have the data in front of me but I shot some test rounds last Friday. 3.2gr of tightgroup came in at 130 PF. Pretty accurate. Soft. One thing I noticed is they didn't stink of burning plastic like the Blue Bullets did. I assume it's the coating on DG is different. DG is hi-tek coating but I thought so was BB. Maybe not.

chenault Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Some different profiles that I have on hand. I will say that looking at the Brazos, I can see why it could be loaded longer, which may be good to know when I get my Shadow. These weren't hand picked, just randomly picked. I wouldn't say the finish on one looks really better than any of the others, well minus the FMJ of course. All 124/5 gr Red=ACME Blue=Blue Bullets FMJ=Precision Delta Gold=Brazos Edited April 9, 2019 by chenault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightfoot Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I'm Steve, co-owner of Brazos Bullets. I wanted to pop in and say thanks for the good vibes being spread on this thread. We've been hammered with orders and are working 16-18 hours a day 7 days a week to get orders filled. At the moment, we are almost caught up. Most of our ~1-2 week old orders that haven't shipped will go out tomorrow. We have 2 more casting machines and another sizer that are about to be on-line so things should get a little easier and faster in the near future.

When you ramp up on new production please consider different molds that eliminate the lube groves on any bullet that will only be sold as coated.

Definitely keep the 125 gr RN with the lube grove. They shoot lights out in every 9 and 38 super I have. and can be loaded to 1.150 to 1.170 with no problems They feed great even in finicky guns Make almost a semi wad cutter hole in targets Great bullet BTW I just put in a small order 2 bags 1680 bullets I think, last night and got the shipping confirmation this afternoon Here to you for your effort, Good Fortune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
