9mm bullets

[TFA777]

Hi all

Where's the best / cheapest place to get bullets?

I see .355 and .356 on different sites.
Ideally I'd prefer plated or even polymer coated (no exposed lead since I shoot indoors), but everywhere I look, including shipping it runs about 8 to 10c a bullet. Add 1.7c for powder and 2c for a primer and its about 14c a round all said and done, which doesn't seem that cheap considering I last purchased new at 16c a round.

Any tips on where to get decent bullets?

I’ve had great luck with Xtreme Plated Bullets. I wait until they have a sale, then buy in bulk.

I get all my 380/9/45 from extremebullets.com.

Extreme can be extremely slow to ship.
I like the products from Rocky Mountain Reloading (RMR). If in stock, they ship fast.

To piggyback on this. I have used Xtreme exclusively for my 9mm and 45 rounds but want to change it up for my next bulk purchase.

Are the Hornady 124s (or 147), and 230gr projectiles a decent choice? I purchase Hornady for all projectiles I reload for except for my handgun.

I use The Blue Bullets now. I usually order a bunch on Black Friday and that’ll usually last me the year.

10 cents a bullet is easily beaten by shopping online for deals.

A lot of good options already mentioned. I’ve had great success with Precision Delta 124 JHP. You get better pricing when ordering 2000+ bullets at a time.

Bayou Bullets is my first choice and has a 10% Christmas sale going on now. I have an order on the way of 8K+ 9mm/38Sup, 45, and .40cal/10mm bullets. Including shipping ($45) the price per is only .07, but if it were just 9mm, they would be closer to .06 per.

The cheapest and best bullets are coated. I've use several manufacturer's coated bullets. Including Bayou, Blue Bullets, Galliant, SNS, Missouri Cast, and Acme. I have no complaints about any of them. They all shot great. Acme is by far the cheapest when you buy in bulk. By bulk I mean 6000 to 10000. My last order was for 8000 9mm and IIRC I was 5.2 cents a bullet......

PS. Coated shoot much better than plated. They are less sensitive to crimp which is very important when loading mixed brass on a progressive. Coated are every bit as accurate as jacketed bullets.

I've been buying in bulk from Everglades for years. Excellent quality and fast delivery

^^^I agree 100%. I have to add H&S bullets to list of coated bullets.

I’ve been using Black Bullets International and Precision Delta lately, much more consistent groups than Extreme, and Extremes aren’t cheap anymore...
I use Berry’s for .38 Special, they work better than Extreme too... YMMV
