38superman Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Montana Gold all the way given the choices you have outlined. It is a more consistent and more accurate bullet. Zero are very good too. Really, as much as we moan about bullet prices it is a small part of the overall money we spend to do this. We spend THOUSANDS on the best/coolest/latest gun, magazines and gear. We spend match entries, travel expenses, and on and on. Then we buy the cheapest bullet we can find? We expect our multi-thousand dollar guns to perform as well as possible with the cheapest bullets we can find? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Like putting E85 in a race car..... Practice bullets? Sure, save some money if you can while getting a QUALITY product. Dry fire more too, but don't go cheap on match supplies. +1 Howard nailed it.

JFD Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 My wife and I have been shooting a lot of Precision Deltas with good results. Sure they smoke a little, but it's rare that I notice it while shooting. Like everyone else has said, I see the smoke when watching our practice videos. I have had to tumble a batch of their bullets due to some odd coating, and I always find several bullets that have to be rejected per thousand. With Rainier, the worse I've seen is a single 230 grain .45 bullet mixed with the .40s. I do tend to use Rainiers for the most part. No smoke and all my guns like them. I usually use the 180 HPs, but I just tested the plated flat points with great results as well. I tried Berrys 180 HPs, but they shoot crappy in my Para and what I have will be used in practice only. They do shoot pretty good in my wife's KKM barrelled G35 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that price I can get jacketed almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chp5 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 So what's the best place to buy MG 180's? I usually buy Zero 180's from Angus, but he's out and I can't find them anywhere else either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you can get a good price from a local shooter that buys by the lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
