9mm fmj/tmj

[StevieG]

Does anyone know a good source for reasonably priced bulk packed 9mm fmj ot tmj bullets? I`ve tried the plated ones but they`re horrible accuracy-wise.

Here's some on GB, they have FMJ and HP.

Did you check with Montana Gold?

Define 'horrible' as I cannot fathom how there'd be that much difference, given teh same bullet weights.


Check Graf & Sons, or GoldenWest, but they are all hit or miss as part of the overall bulk stockup everyone seems to be doing.

Usually the plated ones will either like or dislike your gun. I know people who loaded theirs to over 1000 fps and got good accuracy and others who loaded them to the same velocity and got shotgun sized patterns instead of groups. I still have an ample supply of plated bullets that I'm going to try and come up with a steel load for. Might be good, might suck.

I also reccomend Montana Gold in either FMJ, JHP, or TMJ formats.

Please send me all your plated, they work for me.

Horrible as in "shotgun pattern" to paraphrase sargenv. I was not able to create a decent load neither for the nine nor for the .45.
Pretty much every 115 or 124 gr delivers decent accuracy from the M9. Some are better than others of course but I`m on a budget and cant`t be too picky, therefore I buy whatever I can get for cheap.
Lead bullets work rather well in my loads for the 1911.

Heck no, I'm keeping what I have I know I can make em work.. just need jeep velocity under 800 fps.. and for paper and steel, that is adequate.

50 and Blue thanks for the heads up!

Hope not!
I just reloaded 500 rds of Xtreme's 9mm 124gr RN Copper Plated.

I've always had good luck with plated. Berry's Bullets is what I prefer.
