Precision delta bullets reviews?/ vs. Xtreme plated

[roc_my_tims]

Hello all,

I wanted to see if anyone has any reviews good or bad about precision delta fmj bullets?

I was thinking of switching from plated to fmj bullets for no other reason than there supposed to be more accurate and supposed to work in my lnl bullet feeding die better.

I found precision delta and there prices are pretty close to plated if you buy in bulk, they have free shipping (which extreme does today also)

So any input is appreciated on if the switch is needed, warrented, makes any difference or just if you like this companies bullets as i'd have to order 2k at a time to get thw best price.

Right now prices

precision delta 45 acp 130 gr rn fmj 1k for $124 vs. Xtreme plated at $119.06 theres a $4.94 difference

Precision delta 9mm 124gr rn fmj cost $88 per 1k vs. Xtreme plated $79.80 theres a $8.20 difference.

Also most of these bullets will be paper punching for the most park but who knows down the line.

Try them but these are PISTOL bullets. The only thing you will do is spend more money for essentially the same thing. HOWEVER. PD is longtime good folks and they had the BEST pricing on FMJ bullets.

I was going to buy some of them, but then I realized, I was happy with Extreme bullets...

The nice thing about plated rounds is that they are softer so they expand easier. Even the FMJ type. Well, at least they DID expand when I shot them outta mah .44 mag.

Thanks for the reply stilly, any. Other thoughts?

Nobody will say anything contrary to what I say because I am a Reloading Expert and I got Experted in just 3 years and almost have my Reloading GOD card and what I say is the TRUTH and the ONLY way! Nobody will dare to say otherwise. Soon people will be having the fear of Stilly in them...

You will know when I get my GOD card because all of my posts will have text that is RED instead of the common BLACK. Having black text is mediocre, but GOD status means you will have RED text. And then I shall RULE...

FMJ's from PD are exposed base so depending on the powder you're using, you may or may not get more smoking compared to your plated Extremes.

[Bert Gamble]

I have used PD and had no issues.

[roc_my_tims]

I would be using hp 38

Stilly, you my friend are a unicorn, rare, special truely 1 in a million. I think the 1 in a million is special for you and lucky for us

But i will admit i do watch post and wait for your epic responces you have not let me down today.

i like xtreme for their price for sure. and meeting some of their shooters they are nice guys.

but............, when i really want the most intrinsic accuracy from my ammo i make them with montana gold first, precision delta second and then either berrys or xtreme plated. this is in 9mm.

off hand at 20 yards i get noticeably better groups shooting jacketed. and when i put them on a scale, micometer they all measure out with a greater consistency than the plated bullets.

for price above all, go moly coated.
for a mix of price and accuracy go plated.
for accuracy above all go jacketed. this is my experience.

And xtreme is shipping free today.

I would recommend you do some accuracy testing with them. After shooting plated bullets for years I finally did some real tests and found the jacketed bullets would shoot into almost half the group size of plated.

I just finished a couple of days of training with Robert Vogel, multi-time IDPA and IPSC world champ, and he shoots Precision Delta. Pretty good endorsement in my book.

I think i will give PD a try, for 9mm if the extra $8 gets a few more bullets to feed through my die consistantly then its worth it to take one headache away from my lnl.and for 45 acp at $5 difference it really is a no brainer (granted 45acp xtreme feed well in the hornady die)

Lastly i dont need the bullets righr away anyway so once i do need them in a month or so xtreme wont have free shipping and that will close the price gap even furthur.

Hey there is a code that you can use apparently until the END of 2015: ms2015xb

So if Extreme is offering free shipping, you might be able to use that code and get an additional 5% off.

Another thing too, 9mm is apparently NOT standardized yet so like others have said, jacketed rounds may shoot better, plated may or may not, it will depend on your barrel and how tight or loosey goosey it is...


High praise high praise! Next time we see each other I will let you rub my horn...

Side bar question:

I shot rn bullets normally. And fp in a revolver, i love how clean the rn holes are.
Is anyone shooting rn 9mm or 45 acp out of simi auto's without cycling issues?

[45R]

I've been very happy with PD for 9mm. They have been super accurate out of all my pistols. I am shooting from 3-400 yards. Yes, Four Hundred.
