JeffWard Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I would prefer to go with a known brand of bullet (to the forum), like Zeros and Montana Golds, which seem to be very popular. But if I cannot find Zeros or MGs at the show, what brands shoud I look for, and what should I avoid? It seems $0.07-0.09 a piece is a good price.... What about at the shows? There are NO 9mm bullets availible in Centrl FL, and being a noob to reloading, I don't want to order 1000 online for something I will not like! I'd prefer to get 100-200 of a number of brands and weights, and see what my gun and hand shoots best. Please let me know what your top 5 favorite bullets are (9mm preferably), and your BOTTOM 3 junk-brands! Thanks, JeffWard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Lord Gomer Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I have had decent results with: Precision Delta Montana Gold Berry's Ranier LaserCast (Lead) I did have problems with the plated bullets (Berry's and Ranier) but it was all my own doing when I was crimping too much and occasionally cuting through the plating.

larry cazes Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Not knowing exactly what your application is I can't suggest specifics but I prefer 124gr. Montana Gold JHPs in all of my 38super open guns and their 180gr JHPs in my 40SW limited guns. Unfortunately I am not aware of anyone that sells them but MG direct through the mail. It is best to organise a group buy and purchase in quantity for the best pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkbrd Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 OK if you are going to Titusville look me up and I will have 100 Zero 147JHP for you to try out. For production I like the Zero 147JHP Open Zero 125JHP Limited or 40 production Zero 180JHP The Montana gold are nice but Zeros shoot better for me in all guns. I do use Berrys 180 plated HP for limited, 3-gun practice and local matches. Sorry but the black bullets smoke like trains for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchy Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I've shot Zero, Winchester, and Berry's 9mm out of my Glock for steel and Zero and Berry's 38 special out of my revolver (steel and ICORE). Haven't had any issues. Good luck, Seiichi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Do the gun shows out your way regularly carry bullets? I seldom go to the shows here on the West Coast, and one reason is that reloading components (at least bullets) aren't carried much. The vendors told me that it cost too much to truck them from show to show, especially when on line reloading businesses could easily beat their prices.

You'll see some advertising in the VERY near future. Rich I buy them direct from MG in lots of 3 cases or greater and just have them shipped to my office. The USPS delivery guy has a picture of me on his dart board That is the best price I can get. I do know 2 other folks who distribute them but still can't beat the price from the factory.

chirpy Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Jeff, you can order zero bullets direct from Roze Distributors. They seem to have a lot in stock and free shipping. They also have bulk discount. I ordered from them and the service was great. FWIW Richard PS: I have never seen MG or Zero at any GS in my area.

Michigan and we used to be able to get bullets, powder and primers at gun shows, but for the past several years, we can't get squat. It all started drying up when UPS initiated the hazmat charge.

XD Niner Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) For Zero bullets you can also check Angus at CZ Custom (formerly Ghost Experience.) He is often less costly than Roze. Shipping is included in his price as well. CZ Custom - Zero Bullets Edited January 9, 2009 by XD Niner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmanfixit Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I and several of my friends have been running Xtreme plated bullets with excellent results. 230 RN .45 and 9mm 124 RN. The 9mm has run thru Glocks, Springfield XD's, S&W 659, M&P and Hi-powers with no problems. Good bullets. 45's run through various 1911 A1's, Glocks. No problems.

Thanks, JeffWard Jeff, Try www.bulletworks.com they will ship you bullets up front and 30 day to pay them. I ordered 6K of 200 grain .452 (.45ACP) cast bullets. In other words they are my new cast bullet suppliers. Getting ready to order a few k of 9mm cast bullets.

MemphisMechanic Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 1. Precision Delta (http://www.precisiondelta.com/) 2. Montana Gold (www.montanagoldbullet.com) 3. Black Bullets (www.blackbulletsintl.com) PD gives you free shipping on anything over 2K, and $80 for 147FMJs if you and a buddy split 10K is pretty hard to beat. 6 of us locally ordered 31,000 bullets 6 months ago. Still got about 1K of my 147s left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
