ysrracer Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I've been waiting for five months on Bayou to deliver my 160gr RN bullets. Is there anybody else that makes the same bullet? That might be able to deliver them before next year's IRC in Florida in November of 2022? I get Bayou is busy, I just need some bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcfoto Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I went to the 147 gr blues. Of course, tweeted my load. Last time I ordered it was *only* three months but I heard that they’re down to about 6 weeks right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishbreath Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 SNS has shipped my last two orders of the 160gr .358" bullet in a few days, but the profile's slightly different than the Bayou one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtsdave Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Summit city makes a 160 grain round nose. Says it is in stock. I have some of their 124 grainers and they seem like bayou from way back when. I switched to blues but was tired of waiting. Shipping was fast when I ordered a few months ago. https://summitcitybullets.com/9mm-bullets/9mm-160-grain-RN-BB-Hi-Tek-coated-bullets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have gotten .358 from them before. The 160 is a 38 supper bullet . It comes out of the mold enough to size correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigarmsp226 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 AHI - Dumb question on my part but when these questions pop up in my head I figure I will ask the forum trust for help answering….Now I have on need to or intent of doing this but I read here on the forum where members can and do resize specific lead bullets down to a slightly smaller size, usually .001” to .002”… Question 1 - Can a person with a simple Lee (or other off the shelf brand) resizing push thru die resize coated bullets and not mess up the coating? Question 2 - Using the same basic equipmentmentioned in my first question - Can one resize jacketed or plated bullets - like a standard .356 FMJ/JHP or a plated FMJ bullet (like Xtreme sells) down to a .355? Again I have no specific need or plan to do this - this was just one of those learning opportunities for me….Thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently make and coat my own bullets. The sizer that i use(star) is apush through that i have adjusted to not lube. A simple Lee sizer will work quite well. fyi most "9mm" bullets come out of the mold at .360 =/- .001 . then coated. then sized to what ever diameter that is needed within reason (.358/.357/.356/.355) Q2 NO Believe it or not coated bullets are tuffer than plated when it comes to sizing.(in a way) The coated bullet will .For lack of a better word flex. Plated on the other hand. The plating is brittle and actually easer to damage. When it comes to sizing. Edited September 17, 2021 by AHI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lineman4bell Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I ordered 150 grain bullets the first weekend in May. they were saying 8-12 weeks then. I've yet to see them and they won't answer a phone or reply to an email. At this point I'm operating under the belief that they simply "STOLE" my money and have no intention of ever delivering a product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigarmsp226 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 AHI - Thanks for taking time to provide the detailed reply you did. Makes a lot more sense to me now and I learned a lot from your information. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
