Matt Griffin Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Lead or molycoat, I can't afford FMJ. I'm itching to try out my 610 in competition. H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haras Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I have the guys at Chey cast ship unsized/unlubed 200gr RN .40 bullets to Rudy at Billy Bullets. He moly coats and sizes them. Rudy makes some nice 180gr RN molies as well. Tell them I sent you. http://www.billybullets.com/ http://www.cheycast.com/ http://www.berrysmfg.com/categories/14-0.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hmmm....pretty pricey. With very little to choose from in a true RN .40 bullet, I guess the bullet-makers can take advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Boudrie Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Precision Delta .40 S&W bullets are a truncated round nose and should work just find for wheelgun speedloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugnut Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Rainier offers the same type. Even though they are plated they still are more than lead. Precision Delta .40 S&W bullets are a truncated round nose and should work just find for wheelgun speedloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I messed with a lot of various TC and HP .40 bullets back when I was shooting my 646 more, and came away convinced that nothing works as well as true round-nose when it comes to reloading with speed and reliability.

hopalong Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I use the Precision Deltas in my 646. HIGHLY accurate, it is not really a trunicated cone. It is a round nose flat spot as in maybe just like they were dropped on their nose while loaded in a case. Perform like round nose for what we would use them for. I still use the lead for everything aside from BIG matches, and extept shooting into the sun. Hop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooterj Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 You can try Gary at gatbullets@charter.net He has molds for 155 and 180gr round nose bullets. I don't know if he's made any of either lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Egan Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I got a case of 180's from Montana Gold bullets, they are not listed on their website but it's worth a phone call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I messed with a lot of various TC and HP .40 bullets back when I was shooting my 646 more, and came away convinced that nothing works as well as true round-nose when it comes to reloading with speed and reliability. I found the same thing before the "Stability of rules" suddenly proved to be not so stable and made my new 646 unwelcome. I was shooting Berry 155 HBRN's loaded to about 135 PF so they would run well in my Browning also. They are still available Berry also has a 180 RN but they seam to think mighty highly of their products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Laser Cast makes a great Lead Round Nose in .40 called the .40 1911, I've used the 185 grain version and I think they have a 155 grain also. http://www.laser-cast.com/ It's designed to be long loaded in a .40 S&W and is accurate in everything I tried. Down side is it's damn near as expensive as Plated/Jacketed. Berry's also has a 180 gr. Plated RN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg K Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I got a case of 180's from Montana Gold bullets, they are not listed on their website but it's worth a phone call. I made a phone call to Montana Gold and they said that they do not have a round nose .40 anymore. They said that once a long time ago they made some for export but no longer have or make any.

They must have been sitting there for a while because I got a box of 500 SWCRN 185gr and a box of 500 TCRN 180gr for $29.97 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
