    Ontario based D&D hard cast lead bullets.

    I was wondering if some of you that have used these in the past could comment on their performance. I was thinking about getting some 9mm and .45acp and just wanted to make sure they are a good buy. It's about the most econimical bullet I've seen (I hope that doesn't translate into "junk").

    I want to make sure they are relatively accurate and not just to sling lead out of the barrel for enjoyment purposes.

    I've never used their bullets before, but I have tried Missouri Bullet. I just priced 9mm and MB came in a hair cheaper.

    9mm 124 grn RN: $108 + $9.45 tax + $14.95 shipping = $132.40


    9mm 125 grn RN: $118 (29.50x4) + $0 tax + $13 shipping = $131.00


    Missouri Bullet has a much larger selection too. D&D doesn't even have a 230 grn RN bullet and they only have 3 other bullets in .452" diameter. MB has 9 different 45 bullets to choose from. I have personally sent thousands of those 230's downrange with no leading issues whatsoever. One more thing is that shipping is $13 for up to 4 boxes of 500 bullets. You can mix and match bullets so you don't have to buy 2000 of each right up front.

    Note:
    I would try the 115 grain 9mm bullet first. Some guns don't like the larger ogive on the 124 grain bullets. I just used the 124's above since D&D doesn't have a 115.

      That's not bad. I'm local and could drive over to D&D and pick them up or I could just substitute the tax for shipping (Missouri bullets also have a military discount).
      Do you have any accuracy complaints with the Missouri bullets? I was reading that they sometimes lack lube and vary in the weight.
      Care to share your load? I've got some W231 powder I'll be using.

        I only had a couple without lube and I didn't notice any problem with the weight. They shot just fine for me.

        I use 4.7 grains of W231 for my 230 LRN & FMJs.
