adamastergunner Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I have used Xtreme bullets for all my reloading. I have had no issues. I currently am using 147gn for USPSA competition in my STI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Watson Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I like them pretty well. I only have one not in a loaded round and it is kind of beat up from having been seated crooked and pulled but... 0.672" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make a good product that is very consistent bullet to bullet. Many have stayed away from Xtreme because the price was nearly comparable to HP's. You need to find out if plated are accurate in your gun. As far as OAL goes, please do the plunk test in your barrel to find the optimal length. You also need to take into OAL consideration if that length will feed from your particular magazines. Hope you have the same success I have had with Xtreme's.

Sigarmsp226 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) XTreme currently, as I post this, has their 147gr RN on sale for 10% off. They have quite a few other bullets on sale for 10% off ( 9mm 115gr and 124gr RN also 10% off right now). You just have to look at their inventory to see which are on sale. I just purchased 4k of the HPCB 124gr which is the primary bullet I shoot.... https://www.xtremebullets.com/9mm-147-RN-p/xc9mm-147rn-b0500.htm Edited December 24, 2020 by Sigarmsp226 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigarmsp226 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Wanted to put this comment in a separate post from my post just above because this point is important... XTremes 147gr Round Nose bullets are .356 where as their 115 and 124gr bullets are .355 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrr72 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 XTreme no longer has the the option of ~20 USPS shipping on 2k bullets. It's now ~27 UPS. Considering USPS performance, that may not be a bad thing. But for people who have purchased lately, it is not as good of a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ts199982 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I have bought and shot a few thousand of Xtreme's 147 RN, they were only a few dollars more than the 124 RN that we normally load and shoot. Many advantages to a heavy bullet, less powder, less velocity, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AR Gunner Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 They work for me just fine. Plus they’re shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terp Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) When BassPro gets them in, they are 1.) cheaper than Xtreme and 2.) Often offer free shipping (and military discounts, too). Since Xtreme pulled down their bulk discounts, one can get them a lot cheaper from BPS when in stock...food for thought. (I think I was paying $46 - discounts - cash-back site discount per 500 box of 147gr RN) Edited January 4, 2021 by Terp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePete Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 They are a great bullet and have loaded and shot 75K+. Stopped buying them when they stopped free shipping. Can't find they in my neck of the woods. A shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
