svinson Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I just found out through experience and verified through searching around on the net that my CZ likes polymer bullets with .357 diameter. I had been using SNS. They have been shutting down to deal with backlog. I have been wanting to try Blue Bullets. Got some. Not near as accurate in my CZ PCR as the SNS. I searched around and found out CZ often like .357 best. Next is .356. .355 - not so much. Well, I can't find another polymer bullet that is .357. Everything is .356 (ACME, Bayou, BBI). Is there another 9mm polymer bullet that is .357? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a PCR or know what your use is but for action pistol I've found the Blue Bullet TC .356 diameter to be plenty accurate in a Shadow 2 and P10F. It may be worth trying a different profile or the .356 diameter if you haven't already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Bayou will make them at 357 . He's done it for me for the last 4-5years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svinson Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 Thanks for all the replies. I can definitely find .357 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm seeing on BB's site lists their 9mm as .355, and I know they are not shooting as accurately through my PCR as SNS' .357s do. I wondered if it was the other elements of my load. Based on reading different threads, it does seem others have noticed a difference based on the diameter of the bullet, so I'm going to start there.

johnmyster Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Missouri sells a coated 38 super bullet at 357 diameter. 135 grain. Have gone through several thousand in my 9mm guns. Summers Enterprises is another great option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svinson Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 Just ordered some IbejiHeads 135 gr. I also ordered from some .356 diameter 124g and 147g from a place local to me, Summit City Bullets. (Good prices) I'll test them all out. Thanks!

All I order is .356 for a slightly different reason: I was having leading issues with all other brands bullets and Blue Bullets seem to have done the trick. I didn't have leading issues with BB .355 projectiles either but decided to just stick with .356 since common wisdom for lead projectiles is that all else equal .356 is a better bet.

Steve RA Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I use .358 from Precision (Kemp, Texas) and they are very accurate in my 9mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noylj Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Ask any commercial lead bullet company and they will probably make some for you. Order .38 bullets. Order as-cast bullets and powder-coat them yourself (don't size them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrell Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Bayou (16 week backlog) will size them whatever you want. I had Dennis size 160 gr Hi-Tek.358 as this was what shot most accurately in my 629 revolver. I've shot this load in my other guns too with no issues and superb accuracy. Just the other day put 10 shots in 1 hole at 10 yds with my new Ed Brown M&P 9mm. They shoot great in my CZ's also. My prefered weight in 9mm is 124 gr as this shoots good in all my 9mm's except the revolver. Most accurate Hi-Tek coated bullets in my 9mm's is Bayou's 120 TCG.
