kbear38S Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 I use mostly Zeros. I have some Montana Golds too. Roze Distribution Shooters Connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipster Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 Laser cast is vary popular here in Oregon. No jacket Bullets, but they make a great cast bullet. Oregon Trail Bullet Company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 Let me second the recommendation for Laser Cast. Great consistency, great accuracy, harder than the hinges of hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 I'll plug for Star 40's, especially the 180 JHP's. Damn accurate out of my SV w/ Titegroup. good prices at www.atozreloading.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 Just checked out the laser cast site. I expected them to be cheaper than that. How's the smoke factor? I'm very happy with west coast right now. SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 Buy a 100 of each kind, try them and pick your favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipster Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 Laser Cast use to send a free sample if you called them and ask for it. Heck give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3quartertime Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 Another shameless plug for Star. I use their 200gr. FMJs. Good stuff, good price. If your in the Indiana/Ohio/Kentucky area and want to try cast stuff try Vulcan casting. He makes 220gr. cast .40's. Smooth as buttermilk! It looks like the slide is crawling, but it doesn't flip!!! Let me know if you want more info, I usually meet him at a match to get my stuff. Shipping kills on bullets, if you can find a good source close I would try and make your loads work with it. Just my 1.99 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan550 Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 Just tried some of the new Hornady HAP bullets in my 9X23 and got a 1.25" group at 50 yds in a Ransom Rest!!! My shooting buddy has one of the AET barrels in his 9X23, and got a 50 yd. group UNDER 1/2 INCH!! These were with the 125 gr. 9mm bullets, but they mic .356, so would probably work fine in the Supers too. The 121 grainers weren't quite as accurate, but not slouchy either. The bullets are supposed to be the same as their XTPs without the expansion cuts in the hollow point. They don't expand according to Hornady, just more accurate because of the weight being concentrated in the back end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan550 Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 I forgot to mention the price.........Widener's has these HAP bullets for $61.00/1000, and Graf & Sons for about the same. Beats the heck out of the Sierra prices for what we've been using! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 I do know that the Hornady XTP is my favorite Bowling Pin Bullet. I would shoot it exclusively if I could afford it. SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Bagoly Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 What Cal. XTP's on the pins? I tried the 180gr. in .357 mag. Hated it. Same load with Sierra 170's or cast lead 180gr. was so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipster Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 Steve on the Laser Cast bullets check their page for a local dealer. They price them out at full retail, but if you find a local dealer you will probably save 20%. For some reason they are trying to get away from direct marketing. As far as smoke is concerned I'm currently using them in my 45 and a friend of mine is using them in the 40 with minimal smoke, their not jacketed but there is a little smoke.

aoakley Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 My favorites bullets- Lead - Bullet Works - http://www.bulletworks.com Moly - Precision Bullets - http://www.precisionbullets.com Jacketed - Montana Gold - http://www.montanagoldbullet.com My primary limited division load is with 200 grain Precision Bullet and Titegroup. These bullets are more slippery than snot. For open, I prefer the 124 Montana Gold JHP. Currently experimenting with some different powders.
