    Brazos Precision in 9mm 115gr round nose?

    I just loaded some Brazos .357 Magnum SWC's but have yet to shoot them. I will get to the range this week and give them a try, but I like what I have seen so far.

    Anyone use their 9mm Luger 115 gr round nose (bevel base, no groove)? The pricing is excellent. If you use them, how do they compare to full metal jackets?

    I shoot couple thousands Brazos 9mm 115 gr RN, on: G-34, CZ-TS, CZ75B, SA 1911 Target 9mm. The powder used are: RamShot Trueblue, W-231, HP-38 and Titegroup. I got the similar results on all of those powders.
    Pros:
    - Less than 5 cent/rd (if you buy 4 bags then you get free shipping) , the best price on bullet I seen if compare to the other brands.
    - Owner or big Boss, Steve is very nice guy, he answers your email and talk to you.
    - Accuracy is the same as FMJ/Copper Plated.
    - I never have problem FTFeed/Fire with this bullets.
    Cons.
    - The same problem with all the other lead bullets : Fouling the barrel (you need Chore Boy on hand). you do not have this fouling barrel problem with FMJ/Copper Plated but you have to pay a higher price per bullet.
    - The mail man hates you, lead bullet is HEAVY and you order couple thousands each time .

      I have the same to say as this guy except for the fouling.

      I've shot about 5k rounds of the 135gr and about 2k of the 115gr. CZ SP-01 and CZ PCR. A absolutely no fouling issues.

      There was a thread over at the Brian Enos forum by a guy that had fouling. Using .357 diameter Brazos took care of the issue. He was previously firing .356. I shoot the .356 with no issue.

      Brazos will send you any diameter... 356, 357 or 358. Just need to select it when ordering.
