21 shooter Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I saw these on sale and wondered about the accuracy and performance out to 50 yards or so. I have never used this brand of bullets and thought some here may have tried them. https://ravenrocksprecision.com/9mm-355-124gr-fmj-bullets-brand-new-updating/ The price is reasonable but only if they shoot good.

Farmer Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I had gotten some from a friend and they shot as good as anything else, no complaints. Wideners always had them from $135-$160 but no free shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4n2t0 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I'm not positive, but I think I remember those jackets being bi-metal if that matters to you at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savagemann Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 The ones I bought many years ago were bi-metal jacketed. They are accurate. Shot this group earlier in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I searched for some information on this but didn’t find anything. It would be interesting to know, and I might send Armscor an email for some information. Thanks!

That’s a group I would take any day of the week sir. I have some BE86 to try out, and I wish now I had bought more when it was less than $35/pound. Thanks for the photo and load info.

It was only 7 yards, but was offhand/unsupported. The 5.1gr BE86 load is a good safe load. I've loaded much hotter, but 5.1 suits these bullets well.

Joe4d Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Pretty sure Alliant has dropped selling to reloaders.. so yeh shoulda stocked up on BE86,, is a great "medium" powder that does alot well and is very consistent. I like it for higher 357 magnum loaded for shorter barrel guns, have also used it for basically 45 ACP super loads out of a 6 inch 1911 under 255's for bowling pins. Wont be long and all we will have is over priced Hodgdon with them buying everything, Whatever happened to anti monopoly laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21 shooter Posted July 11 Author Share Posted July 11 I had tried Power Pistol but too much flash and noise compared to BE86 although the chronograph numbers were good. I will try VV N330, 231, and N320 plus some others I have. I like to find a load that works and load a lot of it. I have scratched Alliant off my list for now and most likely the future. You are right about Hodgdon, they seem to control a huge chunk of the market Shooting pins is a lot of fun and those loads should clean the table quick, fast, and in a hurry.

George16 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I’ve used them with 4.1 Gr of Sport Pistol for my shadow 2 and 8”-barrels MPX. At 1.120” oal, my ave velocity was 1035 FPS for 128 PF. It was accurate and shot well but not as good compared to my usual loads of 4.1 Gr of Sport Pistol and 124 Gr Precision Delta JHP V1 and V2.

21 shooter Posted July 11 Author Share Posted July 11 Precision Delta does make some good bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
